-If  the 1111 (USA  models) . (Canada  mod
els)  brake  system  indicator  light  turns  on  to
gether  with  the  ABS and  ESC indicator 
lights,  the  ABS/ESC regulating  function  may 
have  failed.  Functions  that  stabilize  the  ve
hicle  are  no  longer  available . This  could 
cause  the  vehicle  to  swe rve and  increase  the 
risk of  sliding.  Drive carefully  to  the  nearest

- If  the  brake  warn ing/ indicator  light  does 
not  go  out  after  a few  seconds  and  the  park
ing  brake  is  re leased,  or  lights  up  while  you 
are  driving,  the  flu id  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  w ith 
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.

going  on  a long  trip.

out  delay . Do not  wait  until  the  red oil 
pressure  warning.  starts  to  flash  before

suffered  serious  damage .

On  Board  Diagnostic 
System  (OBD) 
Malfunction  Indicator  Lamp  (MIL) 
The  Malfunction  Indicator  Lamp  (MIL) ¢..ifi 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  wh ile you  are  driving, a 
28 
malfunction  may  exist  in the  engine  system.  If 
the  light  illuminates,  the  catalytic  converter 
could  be  damaged. 
Continue  driving 
with  reduced  power (avoiding 
sustained  high  speeds  and/or  rapid  accelera
tions)  and  have  the  condition  corrected . Contact 
your  authorized  Audi  dea ler. 
If t he  light  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

The  MIL  light  may  also illum inate  if there  is  a 
leak  in the  on-boa rd  fuel  vapor  recovery  system. 
If the light  illuminates  after  a  refuelling,  stop 
the  vehicle  and  make  sure  the  fuel  filler  cap  is  properly  closed
