On-Board Diagnostic
system (OBD)
System indicator light (MIL)
The system indicator light (M IL)
¢4 in the instru­
ment cluster is part of the On Board Diagnostic
System (080 II).
The warning/indicator light turns on when the ig­ nition is switched on and turns off once the en­
gine is started and is running in id le at a stable
speed. This indicates that the MIL is functioning
correctly.
If the light doe s not turn off after starting th e
engine or turns on whi le driving, this may indi­
cate there is a malfunct ion in the engine. If the
26
indicator tu rns on, the cata lytic conve rter may be
damaged.
D rive with reduced engine performan ce (avoid
high speeds for extended per iods of t ime and/o r
fast acceleration) and have the ma lfunction cor ­
rected. See an authorized Audi dealer or author­
i zed Audi Service Facility .
The ind icator may turn on if the e lectro nic speed
li miter is faulty . For add itiona l information, refer
to
c::> page 130, Electronic speed limiter.
The MIL may a lso turn on if the fuel filler cap is
not clo sed corre ctly

On-Board Diagnostics
F ig. 7 Locat ion of Data Link Connector (DLC)
On-Board Diagnostics mon itors the components
of your emission con trol system. Each monitored
component in your engine system has been as­
s igned a code . In case o f a malfunction, the com­
ponent will be identified and the fault stored as a
code in the contro l module memory.
The M IL light m ay also illum inate if there is a
l eak in the on -boa rd fuel vapor recovery sys tem .
If the light illuminates after a refuelling, stop
the veh icle and make sure the fuel filler cap is
properly closed

In orde r to make an accu rate diagnosis, the s to r­
ed data can only be d isplayed using special d iag­
nostic equipment (generic scan tool for 080) .
In orde r to co nnect the special d iagnost ic equ ip­
ment, push the plug into the Data Link Connector
(DLC). The DLC is located to the r ight of the hood

On-board computer display
The on-board computer display monitors the dif­
ferent memory levels:
- Sho rt-term memory (on-board computer 1)
- Long-term memory (on-boa rd computer 2)
- Efficiency program
The following information can be displayed con­
secutively in the on-board computer:
- Tim e
- Date
- Estimated range based on current fuel level
- Estimated range based on current Ad Blue* level
- T ravel time
- Average consumption
- Average speed
- Distance
- Current fuel consumption
- Engine oil temperature indicator*
On-board computer O (short-term memory)
The short-term memory collects driving informa­
tion from the t ime the ignition is switched on un­
til it is switched off. If you cont inue dr iv ing
with­
in two hours
after switching the ignition off, the
new values are included when calculat ing the cur­
rent trip information. If stopped for more the
two hours, the short term memory is automati­
cally eras ed once you begin driving .
On-board computer fJ (long-term memory)
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automat ically. Yo u can se­
l ect the time period for evaluating trip informa­
tion yourself .

Lap timer and engine oil
temperature indicator
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with lap timer (S models)
The engine oil temperature is only shown in the
lap timer display.
Lap timer
You can record and evaluate lap times with the
lap timer in the display
i=:,page 32, fig. 16. Th e
time is measured in minutes, seconds and
1/10
seconds . With lap times longer than 60 minutes,
the hour is also shown and the display of
1/10 seconds is removed.
The time measurement on an individua l lap ends
after
99 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds. A
new lap starts automatically after that .
The measurement ends after a maximum of
30
laps. You can then evaluated the lap times or
start a new time measurement .
Engine oil temperature indicator
I f the engine o il temperature is below
140 °F
(60 °C), the 'l=:1: symbol followed by three hy­
phens"- --" and the °C un it is shown .
The engine has reached its operating tempera­
ture when the engine oil temperature is between
176 °f (80 °C) and 248 °f (120 °C) under nor­
mal d riving conditions. The engine oil tempera­
ture may be higher if there is heavy eng ine load
and high temperatures outside. This is not a
cause for concern as long as the .¢
page 20 or
Ill i=:,page 24 indicator lights in the display do
not blink.
A WARNING
Your focus should always be on driving your
vehicle safely . As the driver, you have com­
