and the rear lid. As soon as al l the doors, the hood, the rear lid and
the fuel filler cap are properly closed, the door and rear lid warning
turns off and the Driver Information System functions selected are
displayed again .•
Defective light bulb warning
The defective light bulb warning tells you when a vehicle
light bulb has become defective.
Fig. 13 Display: defec­
t ive l ight bulb warning
The defective light bulb warning monitors the function of the light
bulbs. If a defective light bulb is detected, or if a light bulb has
burned out, a yellow symbol appears as wel l as a pictogram in which
th e defective light bulb is shown =:> fig. 13 In the case of certain bulb
failures (e.g. failure of the rear fog lamp), an additiona l symbol is

If this symbol illuminates, a turn signal (front or rear), a headlight,
the backup light, a fog light or a rear fog light has failed. The burned
out light is shown in the pictogram .
& WARNING
• Light bulbs are pressurized and could explode while they are
being changed causing serious personal injury. .,_

Driver information display
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed limiter may also be
malfunctioning. For more information~
page 28, "Electronic speed
limiter".
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also cause the MIL light to
illuminate
~ page 305. •
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 15 Location of
Data Link Connector
(DLCl
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
fuel vapor recovery system. If the light illuminates after a refuelling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is properly closed
~ page 305.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stored data can only be
displayed using special diagnostic equipment (generic scan tool for
OBD).
In order to connect the special diagnostic equipment, push the plug
into the Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is located to the right of
the hood release
~ fig. 15. 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 vehicle from going faster than the
tire speed rating. For more information ~
page 338.
If the vehicle approaches the tire speed rating, the engine control
unit will turn off the fuel injectors. You will notice an immediate loss
of engine power and a drop in road speed.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle road speed signals ,
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIU will illuminate. If this
occurs , contact the nearest authorized Audi dealer for assistance.
& WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and adjust your speed to
suit prevailing road, traffic and weather conditions. Never drive
your vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating of the tires installed. •
Auto Check Control
Introduction
The Auto -Check control monitors the function of certain vehicle
features and components. It simply makes sure these features and
components are working properly . The Auto -Check control works as
long as the ignition is on, as well as whenever the vehicle is driven .....

-Select System s in the CAR menu .
- Selec t
Instrument cluster .
-Select Trip computer 1 or Trip computer 2 .
-Select, for examp le, Fuel range On to turn on the display
or
Off to turn the disp lay off.
All values in the single -trip or the total -trip memory can be reset to
zero simultaneously in MMI. In addition you can determine what
driving information from the trip computer should be shown in the
instrument cluster display. If one of the pieces of driver information
is turned off, that driver information will not be shown in the display .
The information will continue to be calcu lated by the trip computer
and can be turned back
on at any time. •
Tire pressure monitoring system
Applies t o vehi cle s: with n re pre ss ure moni toring sys te m
General notes I)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided}, should be checked
month ly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom­
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres ­
sure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.}
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system (TPMSl that illuminates a low tire pressure tellta le when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated . Accordingly, when the low tire pressure te lltale i llu ­
minates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under -inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
Controls and equip ­
ment
Dr ive r informat ion di spl ay
failure . Under -inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and s topping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte ­
nance, and it is the driver 's responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the leve l to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure te lltale.
Your vehic le has a lso been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indi­
cator to indicate when the system is not operating proper ly. The
TPMS ma lfunction indicator is combined w ith the low ti re p ressure
tel ltale . When the system detects a malfunction , the telltale wil l
flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously
il luminated . This sequence will cont inue upon subsequent vehicle
start -ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the ma lfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not
be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended . TPMS
mal functions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
insta llation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehic le that prevent the TPMS from funct ioning properly. A lways
check the TPMS malfunction tellta le after replacing one or more
tires or whee ls on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly. •

Introduction
The tire pressure monitoring system moni tors air pressure
in all four roa d wheels and the spare tire* while the
vehicle is moving.
As soon as the tire pressure monitoring system senses a significant loss of air pressure in one o r severa l tires, text messages and yellow
symbo ls appear in the instrument cluster display to alert the driver.
The L warni ng light in the instrument cluster comes on when the
tire is significantly underinflated
