Default why does my trip computer flash every 2 hours (more detail inside)...

When I'm in the car for 2 hours straight driving, the trip display flashes 2:00, BUT, it actually flashes it at 2:11 drive time. It did the same thing at 4:11 drive time, but flashes 4:00.

Default its in the manual, it says you should take a 15 minute brake every 2 hours

did you stop to get gas or something?

Default Audis have been doing that since the mid 80s.

My '87 Audi Coupe GT would blink at 2hours as well. It claimed I needed a break, but I had over 4 hours worth of YES music in the car....no break needed.
