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 .
In the event of a malfunction in the brake

ABS warning light will come on if there is a
malfunction in the EDL system
c::> page 197.
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.
::\ii(®) Electromechanical parking brake
The warning/indicator light monitors the
electromechanical parking brake.
With the parking brake applied and the igni­
tion turned on, the. (USA models)/ . (Can­
ada models) warn ing/ indicator light illumi­
nates. After the ignition has been turned off,
the warn ing/ indicato r light continues to illu­
minate for about 30 seconds.

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,
the yellow
IIJ symbo l appears in the instru­
ment cluster display and the driver message

Have the ma lfunction repa ired as soon as
possible by an authorized Audi dealer or any
other qualified workshop.

fluid level is low, if there is an ABS system
malfunction or a parking brake malfunction.

li ght illuminates when the ignition is turned
on. It goes out after the engine has been
started . This indicates that the brake warning
l ight is functioning properly.
