Defective light bulb warning
The defective light bulb warning tells you when a vehicle
light bulb has become defective.
If a defective bulb has been detected by the system or a light bulb
burns out, the symbol with a message appears in the display to
tell you which bulb is burnt out and where it is located. For example:
REAR LEFT TURN SIGNAL
After 5 seconds, the message disappears. If you want to recall the
message into the display, press the CHECK button.
There are three reasons why the defective bulb message would appear in the display:
• the light bulb has burnt out=> page 277.
• the fuse is "blown" => page 273, "Replacing a fuse".
• the wire connection to the light bulb is defective.
Have the bulb replaced or the connection repaired by your autho
rized Audi Service department.
& WARNING
• Light bulbs are pressurized and could explode while they are
being changed causing serious personal injury.
• Work with due care when handling the high-voltage section of
gas discharge (xenon) lamps*. Failing to do so could result in death
or serious injury! •
