Unfortunately, that is not the case. There are at least 3 types of DIS.
One with just an icon display (low fuel, brake test, temp test etc),
"mini" DIS with basic info and "full" DIS with everything.

 

whats a DIS ?

Driver Information System.

It's an Audi's way of telling you something is wrong, but only for the less
serious stuff, like the previous poster say's you have 3 types although I
have only ever heard of 2.

Full DIS you get a little switch on the wiper stalk to control trip
computer, fuel used, remaining, av mpg etc, plus you get bulb out alert,
brake test, low washer fluid etc.

Partial DIS (what I have) Fuel remaining, Out Temp, Major warnings like low
water, oil etc, Speed Reading, and 2 hour break,

I had full DIS in my old 2.6 quattro, but my new 1.8T QS does not have it
