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 c ritical situa­
tions . You must allow for increased bra king
distances. The extra dis tance used up by
f ading b rakes cou ld lead to an accident.

9:::1: Engine oil pressure
The red engine oil pressure warning symbol re­
quires immediate service or repair . Driving with a
low-oil-pressure indication is likely to inflict se­
vere damage to the engine.
• Turn off engin e! Oil pressure too low
If the indicator light t urns on and the message
appears, the oil pressure is too low.
• Pull
off the road.
• Stop the vehicle .
• Turnoff the engine.
• Check the engine oil level ¢ page 199.
• If the engine oil level is too low, add engine oil
¢ page 199. Make sure that the o il pressure
warning symbol. appears no longe r in the
display before you start dr iving again.
• If the engi ne oil leve l is correct a nd the ind ica­
tor light st ill turns on, turn the eng ine
off and
do not continue driving . Seek p rofess ional as ­
s istance .
(D Tips
- The engine oil pressure symbol. is not
an indicator for a low engine oil level. Do
not rely on it. Instead , check the oil level in
your engine at regular intervals, prefe rably
each time you refuel, and always before
going on a long trip.
- The yellow oil level warning indication
Ill
requires oil refill or workshop service with ­
out delay. Do not wait until the red oil pressure warning. starts to flash before
you respond to the low oil leve l warning
Ill . By then , your engine may already have
suffered serious damage.

Driver information system
On Board Diagnostic
System (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ¢• in the
instrument cluster is part of the On-Board Diag­
nostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light i lluminates 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 acce lerations)
and have the condition corrected. Contact your
authorized Audi dealer.
I f the light illuminates, the electronic speed lim­
iter may also be malfunctioning. For more infor­
mation
c::> page 28, Electronic speed limiter.
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate
c::> page 192.
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 16 Loca tion of Data Link Connec tor (DLC)
On-Board Diagnostics monito rs 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 .
28
The MIL light may also illuminate if there is a
l eak 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
c::> page 192.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stor­
ed data can only be displayed using spec ia l diag­
nostic equipment (generic scan tool for 080).
In order to connect the specia l diagnostic equip ­
ment, push the plug into the Data Link Connector
(DLC). The DLC is located to the r ight of the hood
release
c::> fig. 16.
Your authorized Audi dealer 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 equ ipped with tires
that are rated for a maximum speed of 130 mph
(210 km/h) . This is may be less than the maxi­
mum speed of your vehicle. To reduce the risk of
sudden tire failure and loss of control if the vehi ­
cle is operated at excessive speeds, your vehicle
has an e lectronic speed limiter. The electronic
speed limiter prevents your vehicle from going
faster than the tire speed rating. For more infor­
mation
c::> page 209.
-
If the engine contro l unit receives faulty vehicle
roadspeed signals, the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)
II will illuminate. If this occurs, con­
tact the nearest author ized Audi dealer for assis­
tance.
A WARNING
Always observe the posted speed lim its and
adjust your speed to suit prevailing road, traf­
fic and weather conditions. Never drive your
vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating
of the tires installed.
