FIS/computer display stopped showing information: Audi A6 model 2002
Hello,
My Audi A6 2002 stopped showing the driving computer information in the FIS display (or what ever you call it) in the instrument panel. The actual display panel seems to work ok, because I can see the intial message saying "press brake to..." and also when I press the trim knob to see the service interval text there. What is missing is that when I start the car, the radio channel & RDS text are not shown on top of the display (it is shown as black), and also the middle part of the display is not showing the normal computer info (average milage, distance etc). The gears are visible on the bottom of the display. Has anyone faced the similar problems or has any ideas what could be wrong here? I haven't checked the fuses yet, but I will. We have had some changing weather conditions from +5 to -10 and vice versa. I was thinking that maybe humidity has caused this. Regards, Sami |

Have you pressed that accidentially? Regards Wolfgang |

Isn't that the Reset button? Does it also switch off/on the display? I guess
I have to check that Regards, Sami "Wolfgang Pawlinetz" > wrote in message ... > On Tue, 13 Dec 2005 19:57:41 +0200, "Sami Heikkinen" > > wrote: > >>My Audi A6 2002 stopped showing the driving computer information in the >>FIS > > Just a silly suggestion: > > If you have the onboard compuer and the FIS, you have that little > button on the underside of the right stick (wipers) which toggles the > FIS display on and off.

I have tested also to select different modes using the button (two way
switch) at the end of the right stick, but still shows empty.

SOLVED: FIS/computer display stopped showing information: Audi A6 model 2002
That was it. Obviously I have accidentally pressed the Reset button at some
point of time. I was not aware of the this feature. Root cause: "Misunderstanding by the user" Thanks a lot Wolfgang, you saved my day.
