On-Board Diagnostic
system (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Ill in
the instrument cluster is part of the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when
the ignition is switched on and goes o ut after
the engine starts and the idle has stabilized.
This indicates that the MIL is working proper­
ly.
If the light does not go out after the engine
is started, or illuminates whi le you are driv­
ing, a ma lfunction may exist in the engine sys­
tem. If the light illuminates, the catalytic con­
verter could be damaged.
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoid­
ing sustained high speeds and/or rapid accel­
erations) and have the condition corrected.
Contact your authorized Audi dealer .
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed limiter may also be malfunctioning. For more
information ¢
page 30, Electronic speed
limiter.
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate
¢page 162.
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 23 Location of Data Lin k Co nn ector (DLC)
On-Board D iagnostics monitors the compo­
nents of your emission control system . Each
monitored component in your engine system
has been ass igned a code. In case of a mal­
funct ion, the component will be identified
and the fault stored as a code in the control
module memory.
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 refuelling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler
cap is properly closed¢
page 162 .
In order to make a n accurate diagnosis, the
stored data can only be displayed using spe­
cial diagn ostic equipment (generi c scan tool
f or OBD).
In order to connect the spec ial diagnostic
equipment , push the plug into the Data Link
Connector (DLC). Th e DLC is located to the
right of the hood release
¢fig. 23.
Your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified
service s ta tion can interpret the code and per­
form the necessary repair.
~ARNING
Do not use the diagnostic connector for
personal use . Incorrect usage can cause
malfunctions, which can increase the risk
of a collision!
Electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped w ith

tires that are rated for a maximum speed of .,..

light sensor checked as soon as possible at a
dealership.
Adaptive light *
The benefit of adaptive l ight is that the curve
and the edge of the road are better i llum inat­
ed . The adaptive light is contro lled automati­
cally, depending on vehicle speed and steering
wheel angle.
When driving a round bends, the head lights
are contro lled according to steering wheel an­
g le . So that there is no black area ahead of the
ve hic le, the two main beams pivot at different
angles. The system works above a speed of
about 6 mph (10 km/h).
Com ing home /le avi ng home function *
The function is swit ched on when the switch is
in the AUTO* position and the function is
shown as active in the driver information sys­
tem.
The
coming hom e function illuminates the
area around the vehicle when the ign ition is
switched off and the driver's door is ope ned.
The length of time the lights remain on can be
set in the menu display
( Illumination > Exte­
rior lights > coming home ).
The leavi ng home function i lluminates the
area around the vehicle when unlocking it.
A WARNING
- Never use dayt ime running l ights to see
where you are going. They are not bright
enough and w ill not let you see far
enough ahead for safety, especially at
dusk or when it is dar k. Always switch on
the low beams at dusk or when i t is dar k.
- Automatic headlights a re only intended
to assist the dr iver. They do not re lieve
t he driver of his responsibi lity to check
t he headlights and to turn them on man­
ually according to the current light and
visibility conditions. For example, fog
and rain cannot be detected by the light
sensors. So a lways switch on the head­
lights under these weather cond itions
and when driving in the dark
jO .
Clear vis ion 49
- Crashes can happen when you cannot see
the road ahead and when you cannot be
seen by other motorists.
- Always turn on the headlights so that
youcanseeahe adandsothatothe ~
can see your car from the back .
- Please observe legal regulat ions w hen
using the ligh ting systems des cribed.
(D Tips
- T he light sensor for head light control is
located in the rear view mirror mount.
Do not apply any stickers to t he wind­
shield in th is area to preven t malfunc­
tions or fa ilures.
- Some exter io r l ighting funct ions can be
adjusted in t he driver i nformat ion sys­
t em
~page 24.
- I f you remove the igni tion from t he igni ­
t ion lock while the headligh ts are s till
on, a buzzer wi ll sound as long as the
driver's door is o pen to remind yo u to
t u rn off the lights.
- Always observe the specific local regula ­
tions for your area as to when to use your
lights.
- With automatic headlights, the high­
beam f unction is also available, but w ith
one restrict ion: If you have not sw itched
the high beams back to low beams dur­
ing automatic headlight operation (for
example, after d riving throug h a tunnel),
only the low beams come on the next
t ime au tomati c headlights a re swi tched
on. To use the high beams , you firs t have
t o pull the hig h beam lever back and
then push the lever fo rward again .
- In coo l or damp weather, the inside of
the headlights, turn signals an d tail
lights can fog over due to the tempera­
t u re difference between the inside and
outside. They w ill clear shortly after
switching them on. This does not affect
the se rv ice life of the lighting.

ed in the instrument panel. The instru­
ment pane l illumination will a utomat i­
cally become dimmer as the daylight
fades away and eventually will go out
complete ly when outside light is very
l ow . Th is is to rem ind you, the driver, to
switch on the headlights before it gets

tions while you are driving. Respond in
time to fading daylight by tur ning the
light switch to position fD (o r "AUTO" if
your car is equipped with this feature) to
