Auto  Check Control 
Some  functions  and  vehicle  components are 
scanned  for their  operating  status  when  you 
switch  the  ignition  on  and  while  you  are  driving.  Malfunctions  or  required  service  procedures  are 
signaled  audibly  and  indicated  by red  and  yellow 
illum inated  symbols  and reminders  in the  dis
play. 
A WARNING 
--
- Never  rely exclus ively on  the  outside  tem
pe rature  display  to determine  if a  road  sur
face  is  icy or  not.  Keep  in  m ind  that  road 
surfaces,  especially bridges  and  overpasses, 
could  be  ice covered  and  slippery  even  at an 
outside  temperat ure  above  41 °f (+S °C). 
- Always  remember,  even  if  the "snowflake" 
symbol  (ice warning)  does  not  appear in the 
display,  black  ice could  be  on  the  road. 
- Always  reduce  your  speed  and  dr ive with 
specia l care  in  cold  weather  conditions  when 
the  chance  of encountering  icy road  surfaces 
increases. 
(j) Tips 
If the  vehicle  is  stationary,  or if you  are  driv
ing  at  a very  low  speed,  the  temperature 
shown  in the  disp lay might  be  slightly  higher 
than  the  actual  outside  temperature.  This is 
caused  by the  heat  being  radiated  from  the 
engine.

taining  its  value.  Even  if the  mileage  driven 
is  low,  the  maximum  period  of  one  year 
from  one  service  to  the  next  must  not  be  ex

@ Tips 
The  informat ion  in the  Service  Rem inder  re

On  Board  Diagnostic 
System  (OBD) 
Malfunction  Indicator  Lamp  (MIL) 
The  Malfunction  Indicator  Lamp  (MIL) ¢..ift in  the 
instrument  cluster  is  part  of  the  On-Board  Diag
nostic  (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  authorized  Audi  dealer. 
If  the  light  illuminates,  the  electronic  speed  limiter  may  also  be  malfunctioning.  For more  infor
mation

An improperly  closed  fuel  filler cap  may  also 
cause  the  MIL light  to  illuminate ¢

On-Board  Diagnostics 
Fig. 17 Loca tion of  Data  Link Connector  (DLC) 
On-Board  Diagnostics  monitors  the components 
of your  emission  control  system.  Each  monitored 
component  in your  engine  system  has  been  as
s igned  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. 
The  MIL light  may  also  illuminate  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  f iller  cap  is prop
erly  closed 
¢ page  188. 
In  order  to  make  an  accurate  diagnosis,  the  stor
ed  data  can  only  be  displayed  using special diag
nostic  equipment  (gener ic scan  tool  for  OBD). 
In  order  to  connect  the  special  d iagnost ic  equip
ment,  push  the  p lug  into  the  Data  L ink Connector 
(DLC).  The DLC  is  located  to the  right  of  the hood 
release 
¢ fig.  17. 
Your authorized  Audi dealer  or  qualified work
shop  can  interpret  the  code  and  perform  the  nec
essary  repair. 
.&, WARNING 
Do  not  use  the  diagnostic  connector for  per
sonal  use.  Incorrect usage  can  cause  malfunc
tions,  which  can  increase  the  risk  of  a co lli
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 may  be  less  than the  maxi
mum  speed  of  your  vehicle . To reduce  the  risk of .,.

Warm  and  cold 
Climate  control  system 
Description 
The  climate  control  system  warms,  cools  and 
adds  humidity  to  the  air  in the  veh icle  inter ior.  It 
is the  most  effective  when  the  windows  and  sun 
roof  are  closed.  If  there  is a  build-up  of  heat  in
side  the  vehicle,  ventilation  can  help  to  speed  up 
the  cooling  process. 
I n all  heating  mode  functions  except 
defrost, the 
b lower  only  switches  to  a  higher  speed  once  the 
engine  coolant  has  reached  a  certain  tempera
ture . 
Condensat ion  from  the  cooling  system  can  drip 
and  form  a  puddle  of  water  under  the  veh icle. 
This  is normal  and  does  not  mean  there  is a  leak. 
P ollutant  filt er 
The  pol lutant  filte r removes  pollutants  such  as 
dust  and  pollen  from  the  a ir. 
The  air  pollutants  filter  must  be  changed  at  the  intervals  specif ied  in your  Warranty 
& Mainte
nance  booklet,  so  that  the  a ir cond it ione r can 
properly  work. 
If you  drive  your  vehicle  in an  area  with  high  air  pollut ion,  the  filter  may  need  to  be  changed 
more  frequently  than  specified  i n your  Aud i War
ranty 
& Maintenance  booklet.  If  in doubt,  ask 
your  author ized  Audi Service  Advisor  for  advice. 
Ke y cod ed  setting s 
The  climate  control  settings  are  automatically 
stored  and  assigned  to  the  remote  control  key 
that  is  in use . 
.8, WARNING 
Reduced  visib ility is dangerous  and  can  ca use 
accidents. 
- For  safe  dr iv ing  it  is very  impo rtan t that  all 
windows  be  free  of  ice,  snow  and  condensa
t ion . 
68 
-Complete ly familiarize  yourself  with  the 
proper  use  and  function  of  the  heating  and 
ventilation  system  and  espec ially  how  to  de
fog  and  defrost  the  wi ndows . 
- Never  use  the  windshield  wiper/washer  sys
tem  in freezing  weather  until  you  have 
warmed  the  windshield  first,  using  the  heat ing  and  vent ilation  system.  The  washer  solu
tion  may  freeze  on  the  windshield  and  re
duce  visibi lity. 
(D Note 
- If you  suspect  that  the  air  conditioner  has 
been  damaged,  sw itch  the  system  off  to 
avoid  further  damage  and  have  it  inspected 
by a  q ualified  dealership. 
- Repa irs  to  the  Aud i air  cond itioner  requ ire 
special  techn ica l know ledge  and  spec ial 
tools.  Contact  an  a uthorized  Audi  dealer  fo r 
assistance. 
@ For the  sake of  the  environment 
By reduc ing  the  amo unt  of  fuel  you  use,  you 
also  reduce  the amount  of pollutants  emitted 
into  the  a ir. 
(D Tips 
- Keep  t he  a ir intake  slots  (in front  of  the 
windshield)  free  from  ice,  snow  and  debr is 
in orde r to  maintain  the  prope r funct ion  of 
the  climate  control  system . 
- The  energy  management  sys tem  may  sw itch 
the  seat  heating*  o r rea r window  defroster 
off  temporarily.  These  systems  are  available 
again  as  soon  as  the  energy  balance  has 
been  restored. 
- Air escapes  through  vents  under  the  rear 
window.  When  placing  items  of  clothing  on 
the  luggage  compartment  cover,  ensure 
that  the  openings  are  not  covered.

1- 1 Switching  recirculation mode  on/off 
In  r ecirculation  mode,  the  air  inside  the  vehicle is 
circu lated  and  filtered.  This  prevents  the  unfil
tered  air  outside  the  vehicle  from  entering  the

system  cannot  protect  you  properly. 
- If  physical  limitations  prevent  you from  sit
ting  10  inches  (25  cm)  or  more  from  the 
steering  wheel,  check  with  your  authorized 
Audi dealer  to  see  if adaptive  equipment  is 
available. 
- If  the  steering  wheel  is aligned  with  your 
face,  the  supplemental  driver's  airbag  can
not  provide  as  much  protection  in an  acci
dent.  Always make  sure  that  the  steering 
wheel  is  aligned  with  your  chest. 
- Always hold  the  steering  wheel  with  your 
hands  at  the  9  o'clock  and  3  o'clock  posi
tions  to  reduce  the  risk  of  personal injury if 
the  driver's  airbag  deploys. 
- Never  hold  the  steering  wheel  at the  12 
o'clock  position  or  with  your  hands  inside 
the  steering  wheel rim or  on  the  steering 
wheel  hub.  Holding  the  steering  wheel  the 
wrong  way  can  cause  serious  injuries  to  the 
hands,  arms  and  head  if the  driver's  airbag 
deploys.
