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

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
