Control unit with display in dash panel insert
393_001
New features
The dash panel insert of the new Audi A5 explores new directions with its styling and concept. It is very differ-
ent to the dash panel inserts in other Audi models in several respects. The most obvious changes are:
• The zero position of the rev counter and speedometer is the so-called "6 o'clock position". The top end of
the scale is the "3 o'clock position".
• After "ignition "on"", the dial makes a full scale sweep.
• Neither of the small displays in the rev counter and the speedometer is required. The trip mileage and total
mileage, as well as the date and time, are indicated on the centre display
• The upshift indicator in the centre display help the driver to maintain a fuel-efficient driving style
(detailed information is given in a separate chapter)
• The fuel tank sender and the radio digital clock module are the only vehicle components which are still
hard-wired to the control unit with display in dash panel insert J285
• The new master for display lighting terminal 58d is the onboard power supply control unit J519, and no
longer the dash panel insert
