( DL Cl
On -Board Diagnostics monitors the components of your emission
control system. Each monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned a code. In case of a malfunction, the component
will be identified and the fault stored as a code in the control
module memory .
The MIL light may also illuminate if there is a leak in the on -board
f ue l vapor recovery system. If the light i lluminates after a refuelling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is properly closed

In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stored data can only be
displayed using special diagnostic equipment (generic scan too l for
OBD).
In order to connect the special diagnostic equipment, push the plug
into the Data Link Connector (DLCl. The DLC is located to the right of
the hood release =:> fig . 14.
Your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service station can inter ­
pret the code and perform the necessary repair. •
Electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with tires that are rated for a
maximum speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). This is less than the
maximum speed of your vehicle. To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operated at excessive
speeds, your vehicle also has an electronic speed limiter . The elec­
tronic speed limiter prevents your vehic le from going faster than the
tire speed rating. For more in formation=:>
page 249.
If the vehicle approaches the tire speed rating, the engine control
unit will turn off the fue l injectors. You will notice an immediate loss
of engine power and a drop in road speed .
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle roadspeed signals,
the Ma lfunction Indicator Light (MIU will illuminate. If this
occurs, contact the nearest authorized Audi dealer for assistance.

Storing tire pressures
Correct storage of specified pressure is the basic require­
ment for reliable tire pressure monitoring.
F ig . 29 S ET -butt on:
T ire pressure mon i­
t or ing syste m
In order for the tire pressure monitori ng system to operate
appropr iately, you have to re-save the specified p ressures
whenever you adjust tire pressures, for example when the load co nd ition of your vehicle changes. Proceed as fo llows:
Corr ecting tir e pr es sure
Check the pressure in the t ires.
- Adjust air pressure as needed to comply w ith the infor­
mat ion on the label located on the driver's side B -pillar
(visible when the door is open) .
Saving tire pressures
-Turn on the igniti on.
- Press the button :::> fig. 29 for app rox imately 5 seconds.
You will hear a beep and the symbol in the instrument
cluster flashes three t imes .
All pressure warning indicators in the d isplay will be canceled. Following each intentional change in specified pressures, ti
re pres ­
sures must be resaved.
After the pressures are saved, the tire pressure monito ring system
measures the current tire pressures and saves them as the new
spec ified pressures .
[ i ] Tip s
• The tire pressure is shown on the tire pressure labe l. The tire
pressur e lab el is located on the driv er's sid e B-pillar (visible when
the door is open). The tire pressure label l ists the recommended
cold tir e inflation pr essur es for the vehic le at its maximum capacity
weigh t and the tires that were on your vehicle at the time it was
manufactured . For recommended tire pressures for norma l load
conditions, please see chapter~
page 242.
• The tire pressure monitoring syst em he lps the driver to keep an
eye on tire pressures. But the driver still has the responsibility for
maintaining the cor rect tire pressure .•
Wheel change
If a wh eel is ch anged , the wheels tha t were exchan ged
have to be re -programmed.
- Tu rn on the ignition.
- Press the button :::> fig. 29 for approximately 5 seconds .
You will hear a beep and the symbol in the button flashes
three times.
Programming is necessary :
• after the t ires have been rotated on the vehicle, or the spare tire
is used,
• if tires with new wheel sensors are used .
All pressure warning indicators in the disp lay wil l be canceled . The
system malfunction error message will not disapp ear until the .,_

Folding top
Folding top
Folding top
General
The comprehensively engineered design of the fabric folding top
allows it to be operated quickly and simply. When open, the folding
top is stowed completely in a tonneau provided specifically for this
purpose.
In normal operating conditions, the folding top is wind -and water ­
proof. Under certain circumstances, a small quantity of droplets might form, but only in extremely inclement weather, e.g. torrential
or continuous heavy rain. This is normal and not a cause for
concern .
Follow the care instructions =>
page 203, "Folding top care" to main ­
tain the folding top's attractive appearance and to keep it wind- and
waterproof. Please follow these instructions as well:
• Stow and open the folding top only when it is clean . When the
top is folded away, sharp -edged contaminants can build up as silt
and cause wear spots on the rear window, which may damage the
folding top over time. Of course, ice and snow should also be
removed before opening the folding top.
• Under no circumstances should you use sharp -edged or abrasive
objects to remove ice and snow. Use a commercial ice scraper to
remove ice from of the rear window.
• The folding top should be opened only if it is completely dry . If
the folding top is opened and then stored wet, unattractive indenta ­
tions may develop. In addition, over time, mold and mildew stains
can develop.
• Do not leave the folding top open for several weeks at a time;
instead, open and close it from time to time so that the fabric does
not discolor where it folds, and to prevent creases from forming. This is especially
important if it happens to be stowed while still
damp on occasion.
• Because the fabric becomes less flexible when temperatures
drops below zero, we recommend not operating the folding top
below0°C.
& WARNING
• When operating the folding top, make sure that any external
factors {e.g. the wind) do not impair its function or endanger other
drivers.
• Never drive while the folding top is not properly secured. Other­
wise, it may be pulled open by the wind. This can cause injuries
and damage to the vehicle -danger of an accident!
• When opening and closing the folding top make sure to keep
yourself and others clear of all moving parts. Risk of injury!
0 Note
• Always make sure that there is enough clearance above the
vehicle so that the folding top is not damaged when opening and
closing.
• Do not place any objects in the tonneau to avoid damage when
opening the folding top.
[ i] Tips
• The folding top should be operated only with the ignition
switched on.
• When parking the car with the folding top open, bear in mind
that the vehicle's interior is not protected from damage due to unex­ pected weather conditions, or unauthorized access. It is therefore
advisable to close the folding top before leaving the vehicle. If
