What does the E gear mean in an Audi car?
2 Answers
Audi's gear display showing E indicates ECO mode, which is the economy mode. Here are specific details about Audi: 1. Background: Audi is an international high-quality automobile developer and manufacturer. Currently a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, its headquarters is located in Ingolstadt, Germany. Audi's main production vehicle series include the A series (covering AO class, A class, B class, C class, and D class models), Q series, R series, TT series, S series, RS series, and the Allroad series derived from the A series. 2. Logo introduction: The emblem of Audi consists of four interlinked rings, representing the four companies before the merger. These companies were formerly manufacturers of bicycles, motorcycles, and passenger cars. Since the company was originally formed by the merger of four companies, each ring symbolizes one of these companies.
When the 'E' gear appears on my Audi, it usually indicates that the car has entered the energy-saving or economy mode. This is designed by the vehicle to save fuel, and the transmission will adjust the shift points to make acceleration smoother, which can reduce fuel consumption by 10%-15%. It is particularly suitable for city driving or traffic congestion. Sometimes, it might also be due to the driver accidentally switching modes, such as selecting the wrong option via the steering wheel buttons or enabling the automatic ECO function in the settings menu. I recommend first trying to switch back to 'D' gear, as this often resolves the issue. If the 'E' gear appears without reason, there might be a minor system bug, and it would be advisable to visit an Audi 4S dealership for a computer diagnosis to prevent deeper transmission issues. In any case, there's no need to worry too much—the energy-saving mode is actually quite practical and helps reduce our carbon footprint.
