Default New member with stupid question about electronics controls

Hi - question about my 2009 2.0T A4.

My owners manual references a switch at the end of the windshield wiper lever that moves up and down, and a reset button at the bottom of the lever, that cycles through onboard computer functions. My car does not have this on the lever; I'm assuming its because I have a base model which doesn't contain this feature.

My question is: what else does this mean my car is not equipped with? How would I reference my car's model versus one with more features?

Thanks for your help and for bearing with me. I did a quick search on this site and couldn't find any relevant threads.

Thanks for the reply Luchini. The manual appears to be for all 2009 A4's. But I think yuou've mentioned what I really wanted to know which is that that's a "premium plus" feature, and I know that I don't have Premium Plus.

Default Yep

It is what you mentioned, it toggles thru options on the onboard computer functions. Which are displayed on the dashboard. With the Prem +, you can change view settings on the screen, like showing MPG, MPH, and other functions like screen splits.

I thought all A4's carried that toggle option.

All I know is that the Prem + has the MPH available, and the Prem + with Nav has a colored screen and an extra option of showing how much reduction occurs on your MPG when you use the AC haha. Thats nuts ( had a new 2012 Prem + with Nav loaner for a week).
