RedBaron

Now that I've been driving (and very much enjoying) the car for a while, perhaps someone out there can help with a few simple questions.
1. Why would you NOT leave the charcoal filter on all the time? Does it restrict flow or require more frequent servicing?

2. Whever I turn on the cruise control, an arc of lighted segments appears from the set speed up to 100. I do not have distronic. I can;t figure out what purpose this serves.. nor can I find anything about it in the manual. (see picture below).

I'll post some pictures soon, just haven't had a chance to go out and take some good pictures.

Sorry I don't know about the microfilter.. but since it's a "warranty" item.. I'd use it all the time.. esp in the "fresh" Houston air.

For the segments? Hmmm... on my E500 it goes from my SET SPEED on Cruise.. ALL THE WAY to the end of the speedo. I can't imagine why it stops on an E55 at 100. Maybe yours has an issue.. unless ALL E55's do the same thing. I also DO NOT have Distronic.

Mine does not stop at 100. I however do not know why that feature is there in the first place.....

I know that in my older Audi, there was a setting for a "speed limit" and when you hit that limit it would make a dinging sound and show you a visual alert, maybe there is a setting similar to this on the E55, and yours is set at 100mph. That could be the reason the lines are stopping at 100mph.
