A WARNING
-If the 1111 (USA models) . (Canada mod­
els) brake system indicator light t urns on to­
gether with the ABS and ESC indicator
lights, the ABS/ESC regulating function may
have failed . Functions that stab ilize the ve­

ca use the vehicle to swerve and increase the
risk of sliding. Drive ca refully to t he nearest
autho rize d Aud i dealer or other quali fied
workshop and have the ma lfunction co rrect ­
ed.
- If the bra ke warn ing/indicator light does
not go out after a few seconds and the park­
ing brake is released, or lights up while you
are driving, the flu id leve l 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
o r qualified repair facility and have the
bra ke system inspected.
- Always keep in mind tha t afte r severa l brake
applications, you will need greate r pressure
o n the brake pedal to stop yo ur vehicle. Do
not rely on straine d brakes to respond w ith
maximum stopping power in criti cal situa ­
tions . You must allow for increased braking
16
distances. The extra distance used up by
fading brakes co uld lead to an accident .

Driver information
system
Introduction
General notes
The driver information display inside the instru­
ment cluster provides you , the driver, with much
useful information.
Fig. 8 Instrument cl uster : ce nt er display
Information from the driver information system
is shown in the display in the center of the instr u­
ment cluster.
When you turn on the ignition and while you are
driving, some functions and vehicle components
are sca nned for their operat ing status. Malfunc­
tions or required service procedures are signaled
audibly and shown by red and yellow lighted
symbols and reminders to the driver in the dis­
play.
The driver is also shown information about rad io
and CD operat ion and directions for the naviga­
tion system*. You can find addit ional information
on these subjects in the radio or MMI* manual.
The illustrations in the instrument panel display
differ in some of the vehicles .

Driver i nf orm ati on sy stem
Outside temperature display
Fig. 10 D isplay : ou ts ide te m pe ratur e
At temperatures below 39 °F (+4 °C), a snowflake
symbol appears in front of the temperature dis ­
p lay . It is intended to remind the driver to pay
specia l attent ion to
ic e on th e ro ad .
If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driving at
a very low speed, the temperature shown in the
display m ight be slightly higher than the act ual
outside temperature . T his is caused by the heat
be ing rad iated from the engine.
The unit of measurement for the temperature can be set in either °For in °Con the MMI* or on
the radio control un it. The outside temperatu re
d isp lay automatically shows the unit of measure­
ment that has been set. For add itional informa ­
tion, see the
MMI* or the rad io instruction man ­
ual.
A WARNING
- Never use the outside temperature display
to determine if a road surface is icy or not.
Keep in mind that road surfaces , especially
bridges and overpasses, could be ice cov­
ered and slippery even at an outside tem ­
perature above 39 °F (+4 °C) .
- Always remember, even if the "snowflake"
symbol ( ice warn ing) does not appear in the
display, black ice could be on the road .
-Always red uce your speed and drive with
special care in cold weather cond itions when
t h e chance of encounter ing icy road surfaces
increases.

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).
