There might be some sort of tilt angle detection, I'm just un-familiar with how it works and is it tied to a hill assist feature or...…..?

you can turn that thing off in the MMI. Don't recall where it's located but you need to uncheck a box. It's some sort of energy saving "green" indicator.

My wife thanks you - she was always annoyed by the green foot; I forwarded this to her and she immediately turned it off.

The green foot icon is actually on the nav and lets you know that there is road/route characteristic that may require attention coming up and it is warning you to slow down in preparation. Could be a round about, toll booth or curves that the system thinks may require a slow down. I believe it is meant to assist with safety as well as fuel consumption. I don’t find it very useful and remembering trying to figure out what it was for a while in the Q5.
from the manual (just cut and paste of the text so some characters instead of symbols - sorry):
Predictive efficiency assist
Introduction
The predictive efficiency assist helps the driver to drive with anticipation and therefore helps to save fuel. The system accesses predictive trip da- ta (including speed limits,hills, and the angle of curves) from the navigation system*. - tion from the camera-based traffic sign recogni- tion* is also applied to recognizetraffic signs =page 102.
The messages displayed depend on the naviga- tion data* being up-to-date and the correct iden- tification by the traffic sign recognition*.
When adaptive cruise control* is switched off, the predictive efficiency assist only provides notifica- tions without controlled interventions. See
= page 106, Predictive messages (efficiency as- sist).
/\ WARNING
Pay attention to traffic and the area around yourvehicle when the efficiency assist is switched on. The driveris always responsible for assessing the traffic situation.
@ Tips
— The wording of the message may vary de- pending on the selected Audidrive select* mode = page 132 and the selected gear (automatic transmission*). No messages are displayed when in the "S" selector lever po- sition or in Dynamic mode.
— When a route is planned using the naviga- tion system*, then system displays messag- es based on an assumed route. Without
route guidance, the system displays mes-
sages based on an assumed route.
— There will not be a message forevery situa-
tion ahead, for example if there is not enough distance remaining to react to the situation.
— No messages are displayed when at speeds under 20 mph (30 km/h).
Predictive control (efficiency assist)
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control and pre- dictive efficiency assist
3 38@ T%&
When adaptive cruise control* is switched on, the system responds to upcoming situations auto- matically. See = page 106, Predictive control (ef- ficiency assist).
Predictive messages (efficiency assist) Appliesto: vehicles with predictive efficiency assist
Indicator in the instrument cluster display
Predictive messages appearin the instrument cluster display to show the driver the appropriate time to coast when a situation ahead requires you to drive at a lower speed.
The messages are only shown if the cruise control system* or adaptive cruise control* is switched off.
An additional indicator appears in the head-up display*.
Symbol Meaning
Remove your foot from the acceler- ator pedalto slow down, because there is a situation ahead that re- quires a lower speed.

Yep, that’s in the next column in the manual- I didn’t cut and paste that. Fgured people would look it up if they wanted more info. But when you have the driver assistance screen up in the VC, you get more info about what the warning is for.
