On-Board Diagnostic
system (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL )
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ¢"4 in
the instrument cluster is part of the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD II) system. T
he warning/indicator light illuminates when
the ignition is switched on and goes out after
the engine starts and the id le has stabilized .
This indicates that the MIL is working proper­
ly.
If the light does not go out after the engine
is started, or illum inates while you are dr iv­
ing, a malfunction may exist in the engine sys­
tem . If the light illuminates, the catalytic con­
verter could be damaged .
Cont inue driving
with reduced power (avoid­
ing sustained high speeds and/or rapid accel­
erations) and have the condition corrected.
Contact your authorized Audi dea ler .
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the
MIL light to illuminate

On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 17 Locat io n of Data Link Co nnector (O LC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the compo­
nents of your emission contro l system. Each
monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned 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

80 On the road
soon as the switch @is released, or the accel­
erator pedal is depressed, emergency braking
stops .
.&_ WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in
an emergency, when the normal foot brake
has failed or the brake pedal is obst ructed.
Using the parking brake to perform emer­
gency braking will slow yo ur vehicle down
a s if you had made a full brake application.
The laws of physics cannot be s uspended
even w ith ESC and its associated compo­
nents (ABS, ASR, EDS). In corners and
when road or weather conditions are bad,
a full brake application can cause the vehi­
cle to skid or the rear end to break away -
r isking an accident.
Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep
your driving speed below a set speed limit.
The speed warning system warns if the driver
exceeds a prev iously stored maximum speed.
A warning ton e will sound as soon as the vehi­
cle speed exceeds the set speed by about
3 mph (3 km/h). At the same time, a warning
symbol appears in the d isplay . The symbol's
appearance might be d ifferent in some mod­
e ls.
The speed warning sys tem has two warn ing
thresholds that function independently of
each other and that have somewhat different
purposes:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set the maxi­
m um speed whil e you are dr iv ing . This setting
will remain in effect until you turn off the igni­
tion, assuming that you have not changed or reset the setting .
The. (USA models)/ . (Canada models)
speed warning symbol in the warning 1 dis­
play appears when you exceed the maximum speed
. It goes out when the speed falls be low
the stored maximum speed.
T he speed warning symbol will also go out if
the speed
exceeds the stored maximum speed
by more than about 25 mph (40 km/h) for at
least 10 seconds . The stored maximum speed
is de leted .
Speed warning 2
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you al­
ways
want to be rem inded of a ce rtain speed,
f or example when you are traveling in a coun­
try that has a general maximum speed limit,
or if you do not want to exceed a specified
speed for winter tires.
The. (USA models)/ . (Canada models)
speed warning 2 symbol appears in the dis­
play when you exceed the stored speed Limit.
Unlike warning 1, it will not go out until the
vehicle speed drops below the stored speed
limit .
Setting speed warning 2
c> page 81 .
(D Tips
Even though your vehicle is eq uipped with
a speed warning system, you should still
watch the speedometer to make sure you
are not driv ing faster than the speed limit.
Speed warning 1: setting a speed limit
Warning threshold 1 is set by the ISETI but­
ton.

A WARNING
- Always pay attention to the traffic
around you when the cruise control is in
operation . You are always responsible for
your speed and the distance between
your veh icle and other vehicles . .,,.

82 On the road
-For reasons of safety, cruise contro l
should not be used in the city, in stop­
and-go traff ic, on twisting roads and
when road conditions are poor (such as
ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydro­
planing) - risk of accident .
- Turn off the cruise control temporar ily
when ente ring turn lanes, highway exit
lanes or in construction zones.
- Please note that inadvertently "rest ing"
yo ur foot on the accelerator peda l causes
the cruise control not to brake. This is
because the cr uise con trol is overridden
by the d river 's acce lerat ion.
- If a bra ke system malfunction such as
overheat ing occurs when the cru ise con­
tro l system is sw itched on, the braking
function in the system may be switched
off. The othe r cruise control f unctions re­
ma in active as long as the indicator light
@;rn~i~ (US models) !lB (Canadian mod­
els) is on.
The brake lights illuminate as soon as the brakes apply automatically.

24 0 T ire s and wheel s
According ly, when the low tire pressure te ll­
tale illuminates, you shou ld stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inf late
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a s ig­
n ificantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-in­
flation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle's han­
dli ng and stopp ing ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a subst itute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driv­
e r's responsib ility to ma inta in correct tire
p ressu re, even if under- inflation has not
reached the leve l to trigger ill umination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your veh icle has also been equ ipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicato r to indica te when
the system is not opera ting properly. The
TPMS mal function indicator is combined wi th
the low tire press ure telltale . When the sys­
tem detects a malfunction, the te lltale will
f lash fo r approximately one minute and then
remain cont inuous ly illuminated. This se­
quence will continue upon subsequen t vehicle
start -ups as long as the ma lfunction ex ists .
When the malfunct ion indicator is ill uminat­
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low t ire pressure as intended . TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea ­
sons , includ ing the installat ion of replace­
ment or a lternate tires or whee ls on the veh i­
cle that prevent the TPMS from funct ioning
p roperly. Always check the TPM S malf unct ion
tellta le after replacing one o r more t ires or
wheels on your veh icle to ensure that the re­
p lacement or a lternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function p roperly. Tire pressure indicator appears
Applies to vehicles: wit h tire press ure mo nitor ing system
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too
low or if there is a system malfunction .

U sing the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni­
toring system compares the tire tread circum ­
ference and vib ration characteristics of the in­

If the pressure decreases in one
or more t ires, this is indicated in the instru­
ment cluster with a
RI] war ning symbol and a
message ¢

The tire pressure monitoring system must be reset via rad io or M MI* each time the pres­
su res a re adjusted (e.g. when swit ching be­
tween partial and f ull load p ress ure) or after
changing or rep lacing a tire on your ve hicle

_& WARNING
- If the t ire pressure indicator appea rs in
the instrument cl uster display, one or
more of you r tires is significantly under­
inflated. Reduce your speed immediately
and avoid any hard steering or braking
maneuvers. Stop as soon as possible and
check the t ires and the ir pressures . In­
flate the tire pressure to the proper pres­ sure as indicated on the vehicle's t ire
pressure label
c::> page 217. Driving o n a
signific antly under-inflated tire ca uses
the tire to overhea t and can lead to tire
f ailure. Under-inflation also is likely to
impair the vehicle's handling and stop­
ping ability.
- The driver is responsible for maintaining
the correct tire pressures . You must
check the t ire pressures regular ly.
- Under certain cond itions (such as a spor ­
ty driving style, w inter condit ions or un­
paved roads), the pressure monitor ind i­
cator may be de layed.
-Ask your authorized Audi dealer if run­ flat tires may be used on your veh icle.
