brake can be released. Drive to an authorized Audi dealer
or other qualified workshop as soon as possible and have

minates together with the brake system malfunction warning/indi­
cator light=>& .
& WARNING
• Always observe the warnings in => page 263, "Engine compart­
ment ", before opening the hood and checking the brake fluid.
• Driving with low brake fluid is a safety hazard. Stop the car and
get professional assistance.
• USA models: If the

light come on together, the rear wheels could lock up first under
hard braking . Rear wheel lock-up can cause loss of vehicle control
and an accident. Have your vehicle repaired immediately by your
authorized Audi dealer or a qualified workshop. Drive slowly and

Engine cooling system malfunction _}_
A malfunction in the engine cooling system must be
repaired as soon as possible.
If the _p_ symbol flashes in the display, either the engine

malfunction in more detail. The driver warning goes out
after about 5 seconds, but it can be brought up at any time
by pressing the [ SET] button again.
Switch off engine and check coolant level
- Pull off the road.

page 278.
- Add coolant if necessary ~ page 279.
Continue driving only after the engine coolant
warning/indicator light goes out.
- Contact your authorized Audi dealer for assistance if
necessary.
If the engine coolant level is correct, then the radiator fan may be
the cause of the malfunction. ...

& WARNING
• If your vehicle should break down for mechanical or other
reasons, park at a safe distance from moving traffic, turn off the
engine and turn on the hazard warning lights
=> page 57, "Emer­
gency flashers
A".

please seek professional assistance. Do not continue driving . Do not
leave the engine running
idle, either.
[ i] Tips
• The engine oil pressure symbol "t::7-is not an indicator for a low
engine oil level. Do not rely on it. Instead, check the oil level in your
engine at regular intervals, preferably each time you refuel, and
always before going on a long trip .
• The yellow oil level warning indication .,... requires oil refill or
workshop service without delay. Do not wait until the red oil pres­
sure warning
"t::7-starts to flash before you respond to the low oil
level warning . By then, your engine may already have suffered
serious damage. •
