(D Tips
-Once you have turned a fuel economy
message off, it will only appear again af­
ter you turn the ignition on again.
- The fuel economy messages are not dis­
played in every instance, but rather in in­
tervals over a period of time.
On-Board Diagnostic
system (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
T he Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ¢4 in
the instrument cluster
Q page 14, fig. 8 is
part o f the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) sys­
tem.
T he warning/indicator light illuminates when
the ignition is switched on and goes out after
the engine starts and the idle has stabilized .
T his 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 driv­
ing, a malfunction may exist in the engine sys ­
tem. If the light illuminates, the catalytic con­
verter could be damaged.
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoid­
ing sustained high speeds and/or rapid accel­
erat ions) and have the condition corrected .
Contact your author ized A udi dealer.
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed limiter may also be malfunctioning. For more
information
Q page 2 7, Electronic speed
limiter .
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate
Qpage231 .
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 21 Location of Data Li nk Conn ecto r (DLC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the compo­
nents of your emission control system . Each
monitored component in your engine system
has been ass igned a code . In case of a mal­
function, the component will be identified
and the fault stored as a code in the control
module memo ry.
The MIL light may also illuminate if there is a
leak in the on-board fuel vapor recovery sys­
tem .
If the light illuminates after a refueling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler
cap is properly closed
Q page 231.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis , the
stored data can only be displayed using spe ­
cial diagnostic equipment (generic scan tool
f or OBD).
In order to connect the spec ia l diagnostic
equipment , push the plug into the Data Link
Connector (DLC). Th e DLC is located to the
right of the hood release
Qfig. 21.
Your authorized Audi dea ler or qualified work­
shop can interpret the code and perform the
necessary repair.
~ ARNING
Do not use the diagnostic connector for
personal use. Incorrect usage can cause
malfunctions, which can increase the risk
of a collision!
-

Using the parking brake to perform emer­
gency braking will slow your vehicle down
as if you had made a full brake applicat ion.
The laws of physics cannot be suspended
even w ith ESC and its associated compo­
nents (ABS, ASR, EDS) . In corners and
when road or weather conditions are bad, a full b rake application can cause the vehi­
cle to skid or the rear end to break away -
risking an accident.
Driver messages in the instrument
cluster
Caution: V ehicl e parked too steep
T his message appears when the park ing brake
is applied on an incl ine that exceeds about
30%.
In this case the braking power of the parking
brake may
not be adequate to prevent the ve­
h icle from rolling unintentionally .
Press brak e pedal to rel ease par king brak e
This driver message appears when the switch
to release the parking brake was pressed. The
parking brake can on ly be released if yo u step
on the brake pedal and at the same time press
the switch or you automatically release the parking brake with the start ing ass ist
c:> page90.
fplj Parking br ake m alfuncti on!
This driver message appears together with
the yellow
JiJ symbol when there is a parking
brake ma lfunction.
