The parking brake warning light Brake /((D) (Canada models) illumi ­
nates when the parking brake is set. In addition , a warning tone will
sound after you have driven for longer than 3 seconds and faster
than 3 mph (5 km/h).
L1}. WARNING
• Always observe the warnings in => page 209, "Engine compart­
ment", before opening the engine hood and checking the brake
fluid.
• Driving with low brake fluid is a safety hazard! Stop the car and
get professional assistance.
• If the brake system warning/indicator light illuminates
together with the ABS warning/indicator light, then the ABS system is malfunctioning. The rear wheels could quickly lock up
when you apply the brakes. This could lead to loss of control and
your vehicle could slide! Drive carefully to the nearest authorized
Audi dealer and have the malfunction corrected. •

A malfunction in the engine cooling system must be
repaired as soon as possible.
