A WARNING
- If the fIE) (USA models)/ tl] (Canada mod­

tion ABS provides. Contact your authorized
Audi dealer as soon as possible.
- USA models: If the 1111 warning light and
the

rear wheels could lock up first under hard
braking. Rear wheel lock-up can cause loss
of vehicle control and an acc ident. Have your
veh icle repaired immediately by your au­
thorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop .
Drive slowly and avoid sudden, hard brake
applications .
-Canada models: If the brake warn ing light
• and the ABS warning light

dent . Have your vehicle repaired immediate­
ly by your authorized Audi dea ler or quali­
fied workshop. Drive slowly and avoid sud­
den, hard brake applications.

dicator light does not go out, or if it illuminates
wh ile you are driving, or if it starts to blink, then

If the light does not illuminate when you switch
the ignition on, this also means there is a mal­
function.
