Instrument cluster
Do not switch the ignition off because you may
not be able to switch it on again.
Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility immediately to have the
malfunction corrected.
& Engine start system: malfunction! Please
contact Service
There is a malfunction in the engine start system.
Drive immediately to an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility to have the
malfunction repaired.
*\ Engine stop while driving
If the S indicator light turns on, there may bea
malfunction in the engine or fuel supply.
More force is needed to steer and brake the mov-
ing vehicle when the engine is stopped. If the ve-
hicle is rolling, try to bring it to a stop off to the
side from moving traffic. See an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for as-
sistance.
ZA\ WARNING
If the engine stops while driving, you will need
to use more force to brake the vehicle. This in-
creases the risk of an accident. There will still
be power steering if the ignition is switched
on while the vehicle is rolling and there is suf-
ficient battery charge. Otherwise, you must
use greater force when steering.
53/8 Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC)
If the B indicator light blinks while driving, the
ESC or ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation) is actively regu-
lating.
If the BB indicator light turns on, the system has
switched the ESC off. In this case, you can switch
the ignition off and then on to switch the ESC on
again. The indicator light turns off when the sys-
tem is fully functional.
If the [J indicator light turns on, ESC was
switched off using the |2%] button > page 705.
Stabilization control (ESC/ABS): malfunction!
See owner's manual
If the B indicator lamp and the ES / Gass in-
dicator lamp turn on and the driver message ap-
pears, the ABS or electronic differential lock is
malfunctioning. This also causes the ESC to mal-
function. The brakes still function with their nor-
mal power, but ABS is not active.
Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility immediately to have the
malfunction corrected.
@ Tips
For additional information on ESC and ABS,
see > page 104.
If the B indicator light turns on if there is a mal-
function in the engine control. Drive slowly to an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility to have the engine checked.
§ Suspension control
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
If the | 8 | indicator light turns on, then there is a
malfunction in the suspension control. Drive im-
mediately to an authorized Audi dealer or author-
ized Audi Service Facility to have the malfunction
repaired.
