18 Instruments and warning/indicator lights
Malfunction in the brake system
If the brake warning light c::> page 18 and
the ABS warn ing illuminate
together there
may be a ma lfunction in the ABS, and there
may also be a malfunction in the brake system
itself
c::> A .

See your authorized Aud i dealer as soon as
possib le.
.&_ WARNING
-
- If the~ (USA models) l[!J (Canada
mode ls) warning light does not go out,
or if it comes on while driving, the ABS
system is not working properly. The vehi­
cle can then be stopped only with the
standard brakes (without ABS). You will
not have the protection ABS provides.
Contact your authorized Aud i dealer as
soon as poss ible.
- If the
1111 (USA models)/. (Canada
mode ls) brake system indicator light
turns on together with the ABS and ESC
indicator lights, the ABS/ ESC regu lating
function may have failed. Functions that
stabilize the vehicle are no longer availa­
ble. This could cause the vehicle to
swerve and increase the risk of sliding.
Drive caref ully to the nearest authorized
Audi dealer or other qualified workshop
and have the malfunction corrected.

about 30 seconds.
T he wa rning/i ndicator lig ht will go out when
the parking brake is released.
If the warning/indicator light flashes continu­
ously
after applying the pa rking brake, brak­
ing force is not sufficient to prevent the veh i­
cle from rolling unintentionally . Please note
the following:
- If the slope of the ground is too steep to
pa rk the vehicle, the additional drive mes­
sage appears Caution : Vehicle parked too
steep.
- In the event of a pa rking brake malfunction,

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 authorized Audi dealer.
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed limiter may also be malfunctioning. For more

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 memory.
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 (only vehicles with gaso­
