¢ page 200, Engine compartment, be­
fore opening the hood and checking the
brake flu id.
- Driv ing with low brake fluid is a safety
hazard. Stop the car and get professional
assista nee.
- USA models: If the 1111 warn ing light,
the
G1 warning light and the (i1!B warn­
ing light come on together, the rea r
wheels co uld lock up first unde r hard
braking. Rear wheel lock-up can cause
loss of vehicle con trol and an accident.
Have your vehicle repaired immediately
by you r authorized Aud i dea ler or a quali­
fied workshop. Drive slowly and avoid
sudden, hard brake applications.
- Canada models: If the brake warning

- If the brake warning/indicator light does
not go out afte r a few seconds and the
par king brake is released, or lights up
whi le you are driving, the fluid level in
the brake fluid reservoir is too low. If you believe that it is safe to do so, proceed
immediately at low speed to the nearest
authorized Audi dealer or qualified repair
facility and have the brake system in­ spected. -
Always keep in mind that after severa l

respond with max imum s topping powe r
in critical s ituations . You must allow for
increased braking dis tan ces. The extra
d istance u sed up by fading br akes could
lead to an acciden t.
:l~ /(® ) Electromechanical parking brake
