Hi all, new member here. Picked up my RS6 PE Panther Black last week and we are starting to bond nicely. One question (and I have searched)
How do you display the distance remaining in the tank?
TIA

On the end of the indicator stalk there is a button - pressing this will tab across from Fuel/Digital Speed, Media, Telephone and SatNav... Top left corner of the Fuel/Digital speed tab is your distance remaining : )

Confused: There is no button on the end of my indicator stalk. My car is MY15

The end of my indicator stalk turns the active lane assist on and off.
And I have no idea how to NOT show the miles remaining.... It is permanently on display no matter what option or screen I choose (better check this later but I could have sworn it was on all screens). But to change from trip computer screen to sat nav, phone, audio etc I press the left or right arrow buttons on the left hand side of the steering wheel.

Mike is correct... I was going from memory which is clearly shot to bits

It is displayed in top left of inner display, just to right of upper rev counter. You don't have to press anything to display it, it should be there already.

Yep, I just checked, I can't actually get rid of it regardless of what other info I have on the screen; It is permanently there.

From the "Questions you thought were too dumb to ask" thread on another forum:
Q: Ok I give up. Where do i find miles to empty calculation? 2018 S6. I've looked in the owners manual and in every page of the dis. If I missed it in the manual, what section is it sorted under?
A: isn't it top left
It would appear you are not alone. Can you see it now?

Thanks all, found it straight away.
I am 6’3” tall and the top of the steering wheel covers the top of the dash. Not a bad idea as I can’t see it dropping like a stone!

It is a case of hiding it in plain sight. Unfortunately, once you can see it, you can't unsee it.

Lol, I wish I never asked the question now....but it’s worth it all the same.
