Activate "take a break" 2:00 hours reminder

Featured Replies

Hello,

I have a Superb 3T and since one week ago I've started to travel a lot with it (have moved to Paris with my wife). Only function I'm missing on it, as a long journey car, is that reminder Audis have at 2 hours of driving. A 2:00 hours message appears blinking on FIS advising you to take a break.

Would it be possible to activate it ?

Thank you very much in advance,

Javier

That function is part of the Audi trip and switches the display to running time every two hours (and flashes it). On an Audi you could cancel it but you couldn't turn it off. It's not a switchable function.

AFAIK, there is nothing to activate. If your trip had that function it would be on.

My Skoda Superb 3T doesn't do it. That's why I'm asking if it's possible to activate it through VCDS.

Thank you

This is available on the Yeti MFD switcable on or off.

Is it? Haven't found it on mine. Where is it?

(Like the bottom tag line, by the way!! :thumbup::thumbup: )

Where??

I don't find it in mine, shouldn't it be similar?

Thank you for your reply

I am pretty sure the Skoda 'travel time' is purely a counter though and does not flash at you after 2hrs, i have done several 4+hr journeys and mine has never flashed at me (I do not however have the MFD display set to travel time)

That's just the standard journey time.

For at least 10 years, Audis switch to journey time and flash the display after two hours of driving. It keeps flashing until you cancel it with the stalk or take a 10 minute break. It repeats every two hours. AFAIK, no-one has found a way to turn it off.

emoticon-0101-sadsmile.gif You are probably correct, previous experience with an Audi A4 I assumed that it was the same function on the Yeti but since I disabled it as soon as I got the car I don't know if it gives the 2 hour warning, just assumed it did .emoticon-0111-blush.gif

I will go and stand in the corner.

Take a break after 2 hours? I'm finding it hard to think where this would be applicable. It's not a requirement to take a break after 120mins driving, and I can tell the time and read my own abilities as to when my body is yelling me to take a break.

It's an Audi thing - I hate it.

Yelling me to take a break? I meant telling...thought I'd get in before the forum spelling Stasi piped up.

Tell me about it, I want to turn it off on my A8 and not found a way yet. Stupid thing comes on even if you have taken a break and you have to cancel it otherwise it just sits there flashing 2:00 at you.

If we find the way to turn it off on Audi then maybe we will be able to reverse it on skoda...

I got used to it on my dads A8 like 10 years ago and now I'm missing it because I'm moving to paris from Madrid, and in this long journeys I need to stop every 2 hours to let my dogs take a walk.

Thank you all for your replies!!

Someone in Germany offered a DM1000 reward for anyone who could turn it off. No one collected.
