16 Instrum ent s and w arn ing /indic ato r light s
;;./~ Electronic Stabilization Control
(ESC)
This warning/indicator light monitors the
Electronic Stabilization Control.
If the
DJ indicator light blinks while dr iving,
the ESC or ASR (Ant i-S lip Regulation) is active
l y regulating.
If th€
DJ indicator light turns on, the system
has sw itched the ESC off . In this case, you can
switch the ignition off and then on to switch
the ESC on again. The indicator light turns off
when the system is functioning fully .
If the
i indicator light turns on, ESC was re
str icted using the
I~ OFF ! button ~ page 224 .
Stabiliz ation con trol (E SC/A BS): Fault! See
o wn er's manu al
If th€ J_j) indicator light and the ABS indicator
light ~ (USA models)
111] (Canada models)
turn on and the message appears, the ABS or
electronic differential lock is malfunction ing .
This also causes the ESC to malfunct ion . The
brakes st ill function with the ir normal power,
but ABS is not act ive.
Drive to your authorized Aud i dealer or quali
fied workshop immediately to have the mal·
function corrected.
A WARNING
If the 1111 (USA models) tllll (Canada
mode ls) brake system ind icator light turns
on together with the ABS and ESC indica
tor lights, the ABS/ESC regulating function
may have failed . Functions that stabilize
the vehicle are no longer avai lab le. This
could cause the vehicle to swerve and in
crease the risk of sliding. Dr ive carefully to
the nearest authorized Aud i dealer or oth
er qua lified workshop and have the mal·
function corrected.
(D Tips
For additional information on ESC and
ABS, refer to

tli1 ! !r Safety systems
T he I (USA models) !Ill (Canada models) in
dicator light mon itors the safety systems (e.g .
airbags, pretensioners) and illum inates for a
f ew seconds each time you switch the ignition
on .
If the
I (USA models)/ . (Canada models)
indicator light does not go out, or if it illumi
nates while you are driving, or if it starts to
blink, then there is a malfunction somewhere
in the system.
If the light does not illuminate
when you switch the ign it ion on, th is also
means there is a malfunct ion.
A WARNING "'--
If you have a malfunction in the safety sys-
tems, contact your authorized Audi dealer
i mmediately. Otherwise the safety sys
tems may not work properly in an acc i
dent.
¢¢ Turn signal s
The indicator light blinks when you use either
turn signal.
Whenever you use the left
II or the right .
turn s ignal, the indicator light blinks . When
you use the emergency flashe rs, both indica
tor lights flash .
If one of the turn signal light bulbs burn out,
the turn signal will blink twice as fast as nor·
mal.
This does not apply, however, in towing mode.
The ind icator light does not flash if a turn sig·
nal is out on the tra iler or the towing veh icle .

If one of the turn signal bulbs on the trai ler is
burned out or defective, the indicator light
will not blink when you use the turn signals.
{!) Tips
For vehicles with a factory installed towing
hitch or a trailer h itch that was installed
later according to factory specifications,
the trailer tu rn signal assembly is actuat
ed.
o Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (M IL) is part
of the On-Boa rd D iagnostic (OBD II) system.
The symbol
(.j ligh ts up when the ignit ion is
turned on and will turn off after the engine has started and has sett led at a constant idle
speed. This ind icates that the MIL is working
properly .
The warning light i lluminates when there is a
malfunction in the engine e lectronic system .
Contact your authorized Audi dealer and have

Ci:> Adaptive Air Suspension
Applies to vehicles: with Adaptive Air Suspens ion
This f!I warning/indicato r light has the fo l
l owing f unctions:
- It illuminates fo r a few seconds after the ig
nition is t urned on as f unction check and
then goes out . -
If the warning/indicator light illuminates or
blinks contin uously, there is a system fault
in the Adaptive Air Suspension. A system
fau lt can result in lim ited ride comfort and
low ground clea rance . Drive safely to the
nearest authorized Audi dealer or qualified
workshop, and have the fault corrected .
- If the warning/indicator light flashes, you
should not dr ive the veh icle . The flashing
warning/indicator light points to an extreme H igh level. A very
pronounced lifting of the
veh icle (ext reme H igh leve l) can result, for
examp le, when a he avy load is removed
from the vehicle. As soon as the level has re
turned to norma l, the wa rning/indicator
light stops flashing, and you can d rive away.
- If the warning/indicator light flashes in con
junction with the
II warning/indicator
light, you should not drive off immediately
in order to prevent damage to the under
body. The two warn ing/ indicator lights
flashing together points to an extreme Low level. A ve ry
pronounced lowering of the ve
hicle (extreme Low leve l) can result, for ex
ample , from a heavy load. As soon as the
level has retu rned to normal, the warn ing/
indicator lights stop flashing, and you can
drive away.
(D Note
If the warning/ indic ator l igh t flashes in
conjunction with the
B warning/ind ica
tor light, you should not drive the vehicle
because low-lying veh icle parts can bot
tom out as yo u drive over uneven ground
and be damaged as a result.

- If you get battery acid in your eyes or
on your skin, immediately rinse with
cold water for several minutes and get
medical attention.
- If you should ingest any battery acid,
seek medical attention immediately.
- Do not expose the battery to an open
flame, electric sparks or an open light.
- Do not smoke.
- Do not interchange the positive and neg-
ative cables.
- When working on the battery , be sure
not to short-circuit the terminals with
tools or other metal objects. This would
cause the battery to heat up very quickly,
which could lead to damage or explosion
and personal injury.
- When a battery is charged, it produces
hydrogen gas which is explosive and
could cause personal injury .
- Always keep the battery well out of the
reach of children .
- Before work is done on the electrical sys
tem, disconnect the negative ground ca
ble .
- Before performing any work on the elec

and then the negative cable. Never inter
change the cables -this could start a fire!
- Never charge a frozen or a thawed-out
battery. It could explode! If a battery has
frozen, then it must be replaced. A dis- charged battery can freeze over at 32
°F
(0 oc).
-Make sure the vent hose is always attach
ed to the opening on the side of the bat
tery .
- Never use batteries which are damaged.
There is the danger of an explosion! Al
ways replace a damaged battery.
