On Board Diagnostic
System (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ¢'4 in the
instrument cluster
¢ page 11, fig. 7 is part of the
On -Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when the
ignition 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 driving, a
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 authori zed Audi dealer.
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed lim­
iter may also be malfunctioning . For more infor­
mation ¢
page 23, Electronic speed limiter.
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate (only vehicles
with gasoline engine)
¢page 212.
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 20 Locat ion of Data Link Connec tor (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 of a malfunction, the com­ ponent will be identified and the fault stored as a
code in the control module memory.
Driver in forma tion system
The MIL light may also illum inate if there is a
leak in the on-board fuel vapor recovery system.
If the light illuminates after a refueling, stop the
vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is prop ­
erly closed (only vehicles with gasoline engine)
¢ page 212.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stor­
ed data can only be displayed using special diag­
nostic equipment (generic scan tool for OBD).
In order to connect the special diagnostic equip­
ment, push the plug into the Data Link Connector
(DLC). The DLC is located to the right of the hood
release ¢
fig. 20.
Your authorized Audi dea ler or qualified work­
shop can interpret the code and perform the nec­
essary repair.
A WARNING
-~
Do not use the diagnostic connector for per­
sonal use. Incorrect usage can cause malfunc­
tions, which can increase the risk of a colli­
sion!
Electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with tires
that are rated for a maximum speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). This is less than the maximum speed
of your vehicle. To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operat­
ed at excessive speeds, your vehicle also has an
electronic speed limiter. The electronic speed
limiter prevents your vehicle from going faster
than the tire speed rating . For more information
¢ page 237.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle
road speed signa ls, the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL)
¢4 will illuminate. If this occurs,
contact the nearest authori zed Audi dealer for
assistance.
SQS
Your vehicle's top speed is electronically limited
to 155 mph (250 km/h).
If the engi ne control unit receives fa ulty vehicle
road speed signals, the Malfunction Indicator

Driving
"'You can re lease the switch once you are sure
that you are developing enough driving force at
the wheels by depressing the accelerator.
Depending on the weight of the r ig (vehi cle and
trai ler) and t he severity of the incline, you may
ro ll backwards as you start . You ca n prevent roll­
ing bac kwards by holding the parking brake
sw itch pulled out and accelerating -just as you
wou ld when sta rting on a hill with a conventional
hand b rake.
Emergency braking
In the even t that the conventional brake system
fails or locks .
"'In an emergency, pull the switch and cont inue
to pull it to slow your ve hicle down with the
park ing b rake .
"' As soon as you release the switch or accelerate,
the b raking process stops .
If you pull the sw itch and hold it above a speed of
about 5 mph (8 km/h), the eme rge ncy brak ing
f u nction is ini tiated . The vehicle is braked at all
four whee ls by activating th e hydrau lic brake sys­
t em. T he b rake perfo rman ce is sim ila r to making
a n emergency stop ~.&, .
In order not to activate the emergency brak ing by
mista ke, an audib le wa rn ing tone (buzz er)
sounds w hen the sw itch is p ulled . As soon as the
sw itch is rele ased, or the a cce le ra to r pedal is de­
p ressed, eme rgency bra king stops.
_& WARNING
Emergency braking should only be use d in an
emergency, w hen the normal foot brake has
failed or the bra ke peda l is obstr ucted . Using
the parking b rake to perfo rm emergency
brak ing will slow your vehicle down as if you
had made a fu ll bra ke ap plication . The laws of
physics c annot be suspended even wi th E SC
a nd i ts asso ciated componen ts (AB S, AS R,
ED S). I n corne rs and when r oad or we ather
c ondi tions are bad , a f ull bra ke ap plicat ion
can ca use the vehicle to sk id or the rea r end to
break away -ris king an accident .
