A WARNING 
- Always observe  the  warn ings  in 
c::> page  218, before  opening  the  hood  and 
checking the  brake flu id. 
- Dr iving with  low brake f luid is a safety  haz
ard.  Stop  the  car and  get  professional  assis
tance  . 
- If the 
1111 (USA models) 8 (Canada mod
els)  brake system  indicato r light  turns  on to
gethe r with the  ABS and  ESC indicator 
lights,  the  ABS/ESC regulat ing funct ion may

- If the  brake  warning/indicator  light  does 
not  go  out  after  a few  seconds  and  the  park
ing  brake  is released,  or  lights  up while  you 
are  driving,  the  fluid  level  in the  brake  fluid 
reservoir  is too  low. If you  believe  that  it  is 
safe  to  do  so,  proceed  immediately  at  low 
speed  to the  nearest  authorized  Audi dealer 
or qualified  repair  facility and have  the 
brake  system  inspected. 
- Always  keep  in  mind that after  several  brake 
applications,  you  will need greater  pressure 
on  the  brake pedal  to  stop  your  vehicle.  Do 
not  rely  on  strained  brakes  to respond  with 
maximum  stopping  power  in  critical  situa
tions.  You must  allow  for increased  braking 
distances.  The  extra  distance  used  up by 
fading  brakes  could  lead  to  an  accident.

On  Board  Diagnostic 
System  (OBD} 
Malfunction  Indicator  Lamp  (MIL) 
The  Malfunction  Indicator Lamp  (MIL) ¢..ifl in  the 
instrument  cluster is part  of  the  On-Board  Diag
nostic  (OBD II)  system. 
The  warning/indicator  light  illuminates  when  the 
ignit ion  is switched  on and  goes  out  after  the en
gine  starts  and  the  idle  has stabilized.  This indi
cates  that  the  MIL is working  properly. 
If the  light  does  not  go  out after the engine is 
started,  or illuminates  while  you  are  dr iving,  a 
28 
malfunction  may  exist  in the  engine  system.  If 
the  light  illum inates , the  catalytic  converter 
could  be  damaged. 
Continue  driving 
with  reduced  power (avoiding 
sustained  high speeds  and/or  rapid  accelerations) 
and  have  the  condition  corrected.  Contact  your 
authorized  Aud i dea ler. 
If  the  ligh t illuminates,  the electronic  speed  lim
iter  may  also  be  ma lfunctioning . For  more  infor
mation  ¢ 
page  29,  Electronic  speed  limiter. 
An improperly  closed  fuel filler cap may also 
cause  the  MIL light to illuminate

On-Board  Diagnostics 
Fig. 16 Locat io n  of  Data  Link Co nnector  (DLC) 
On-Board  Diagnostics  monitors the components 
of  your  emission  control  system.  Each  monitored 
component  in your  engine  system  has been  as
signed  a code . In  case  o f a  malfunct ion,  the  com
ponent  will  be  identified  and  the  fault  stored  as  a 
code  in the  control  module  memory . 
The  MIL  light  may  also  ill uminate  if  there is a 
leak  in the  on-board  f uel vapor  recove ry system. 
If  the  light illuminates  after  a  refuelling,  stop  the 
vehicle  and  make  sure  the  fuel filler  cap  is prop
erly  closed

There must  be at  least  10  inches (25 cm)  be
tween  your  chest  and the  center  of  the steering 
wheel. 
If you cannot  sit  more  than  10  inches (25 
cm)  from  the  steering  wheel, see if adaptive 
equipment  is available  to  help you  reach  the ped
als  and  increase the  distance  from  the steering 
wheel. 
For detailed  information  on how  to  adjust  the 
driver's  seat,  see 
r:::>page  53. 
In  vehicles with  the memory  function*,  the  steer
ing  column  settings are  stored together  with  the 
seat  position. 
A WARNING 
Improper  use of steering  wheel adjustment 
and improper  seating  position  can cause  seri
ous personal  injury. 
- Adjust  the  steer ing wheel  column  only  when 
the  vehicle  is not  mov ing to  prevent  loss of 
vehicle  control. 
- Adjust  the  driver's  seat  or  steering  wheel  so 
that  there  is a minimum  of  10  inches (25 
cm) between  yo ur chest and the  steering 
wheel 
r:::>page  127,  fig.  144. If  you cannot 
mainta in this  min imum  d istance,  the  a irbag 
system  cannot  protect  you  properly . 
- If  phys ica l limitations  prevent  you from  sit
ti ng 10  inches (25  cm) or  more  from  the 
steering  wheel,  check with  your  authorized 
Audi  dealer to  see if  adaptive  eq uipment  is 
available. 
- If  the  steering  wheel  is aligned  wi th your 
face,  the  supp lemental  driver's  airbag  can
not  provide  as much  protection  in an acci
dent.  Always  make sure that  the steering 
wheel  is aligned  w ith  your  chest. 
- Always  hold  the  steering  wheel  with  your  hands at the  9 o'clock  and 3  o'clock  posi
t ions to  reduce the  r isk of  personal  injury  if 
the  driver 's airbag  deploys.
