On-Board Diagnostic system (08D)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIU in the instrument cluster
=> page 12, fig. 7 is part of the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/ind icator light illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after the engine starts and the id le has
stabi lized. This indicates that the MIL is working proper ly .
If the light does not go out after the engine is started, or illuminates
while you are driving, a ma lfunction may exist in the engine system.
If the light illuminates, the catalytic converter could be damaged.
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoiding sustained high
speeds and/or rapid accelerations) and have the condition
corrected. Contact your authorized Audi dealer.
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed limiter may also be
malfunctioning. For more information=>

Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep your driving
speed below a set speed limit.
The speed warning system warns if the driver exceeds a previously stored maximum speed . A warning tone wi ll sound as soon as the
vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 mph (3 km/h) . At the
same time, a warning symbol appea rs in the display. The symbol's
appearance might be different in some models.
The speed warning system has
t w o wa rning thr esholds that func ­
tion independent ly o f each other and that have somewha t di fferent
purposes:
S p eed war ning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set the maximum speed while you
are driving. This setting will remain in effect un til you turn off the
ignition, assuming that you have not changed or res et the setting.
The speed warning symbol
8 (USA mode ls)/ 8 (Canada models) in
the warning 1 disp lay appears when you exceed the maximum
speed. It goes out when the speed falls be low the stored maximum
speed . T
he speed warning symbol wi ll also go out if the speed
exceeds the
stored maximum speed by more than about 25 mph
(40 km/h) for at
least
10 seconds . The stored maximum speed is deleted.

S peed w arning 2
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you always want to be
reminded of a certain speed, for example when you are traveling in
a country that has a general maximum speed limit, or if you do not
want to exceed a specified speed for winter tires.
T he speed warning 2 symbol,
8 , (USA models)/ 0 (Canada models)
appears in the display when you exceed the stored speed limit .
Un like warning 1, it wi ll not go out until the vehic le speed drops
