On-Board Diagnostics
F ig. 16 Locat ion of Data Link Connector (DLC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components
of your emission control system. Eac h monitored
component in your engine system has been as­
signed a code. In case of a ma lfunction, the com­
ponent w ill 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.
I f the light ill uminates after a refueling, stop the
veh icle and make sure the fuel filler cap is prop­
erly closed (on ly vehicles with gasol ine engine)
r::!> page 17 5.
I n order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stor­
ed data can only be displayed using special diag­
nostic equipment (generic scan tool for OBD).
I n order to connect the specia l diagnostic equip­
ment, push the plug into the Data Link Connector
(D LC). The DLC is located to the right of the hood
release
¢ fig. 16.
Your author ized Audi dealer or qualified work­
shop can interpre t the code and perform the nec­
essary repair .
.&_ WARNING
-
Do not use the diagnostic connector for pe r­
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
26
of your veh icle. To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of contro l 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
r::!> page 191.
If the engine control un it receives faulty vehicle
road speed signals, the Malfunct ion Indicator
Lamp (MIL)
(,ij will illuminate. If this occurs,
contact the nearest author ized Audi dealer for
assistance.
.&_ WARNING
A lways observe the posted speed limits and
adjust your speed to suit prevailing road, traf­
f ic and weather conditions. Never drive your
vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating
of the t i res installed .

A WARNING
Electrolyte fluid can leak from automatic dim­
ming mirrors if the glass is broken. Electro­
lyte fluid can irritate skin, eyes and respirato­
ry system.
- Repeated or prolonged exposure to electro­
lyte can cause irritation to the respiratory
system, especially among people with asth­
ma or other respiratory conditions. Get
fresh air immediately by leaving the vehicle
or, if that is not possible, open windows and
doors all the way.
- If electrolyte gets into the eyes, flush them
thoroughly with large amounts of clean wa­
ter for at least 15 minutes; medical atten­
tion is recommended.

- If electro lyte contacts skin, flush affected
area with clean water for at least 15 mi­
nutes and then wash affected area with
soap and water; medical attention is recom­ mended . Thoroughly wash affected clothing
and shoes before reuse.
- If swallowed and person is conscious, rinse mouth with water for at least 15 minutes.
Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to
do so by medical professional. Get medical
attention immediately.
(D Note
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror
breaks, electrolyte can leak out. This liquid
damages plastic surfaces. Clean this liquid as
quickly as possible, for example with a wet
sponge.
(0 Tips
- If the dimming function is switched off for
the interior lights, the exterior lights will al­
so not be dimmed.
- If the light reaching the rearview mirror is
obstructed, the automatic dimming mirror
will not function correctly,
- The automatic dimming mirrors do not dim
when the interior lighting is turned on or
the reverse gear is selected.
