tl'l.l !f Safety systems
The II (USA models)/S,I (Canada mode ls) in­
d icator light monitors the safety systems (e .g.
a irbags, pretensioners) and illuminates for a
few seconds each time you switch the ignition
on.
I f the
II (USA mode ls)/ S,I (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 ma lfunction somewhere
in the system.
If the light does not illuminate
when you switch the ignition on, this also means there is a malfunction.
A WARNING
If you have a malfunction in the safety sys­
tems, contact your author ized Audi dealer
immediate ly. Otherwise the safety sys­
tems may not wo rk properly in an acci­
dent.
& Central indicator light
I f the indicator light . or II turns on, check
the message in the instrument cluster.
;;,J {J Electronic Stabilization Control
(ESC)
If the J,.J indicator light blinks wh ile driving,
the ESC or ASR (Ant i- S lip Regulation) is active ­
ly regulating .
If the
Ji! 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

stricted or switched off using the

ton

Stabilization cont rol (E SC/ABS): F ault! See
o w ner 's manual
If the Ji! indicator light and the ABS indicator
light
fi1 (USA models) I ii] (Canada models)
turn on and the message appears, the ABS or
e lec tronic differen tial lock is ma lfunction ing. T
his also causes the ESC to malfunction. The
brakes still function with their normal power,
but ABS is not active.
Drive to your au thorized A udi dealer or quali­
fied workshop immed iate ly to have the mal­
function corrected .
A WARNING
-If the . (USA mode ls)/ . (Canada mod-
e ls) b rake system indicator light turns on
together with the ABS and ESC indicator
lights, the ABS/ESC regulating function
may have failed . Fu nctions that stabilize
the veh icle are no longe r available . T his
could cause the vehicle to swerve and in­
crease the risk of sliding. Drive carefully to
the nea rest au thori zed A udi dealer or oth­
er qualified workshop and have the ma l­
f u nction corrected.
