favorable lighting conditions can have a negative effect on the display.

On-Board Diagnostic
System (OBD)
Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) ¢'4 in the
instrument cluster is part of the On-Board Diag­
nostic System (OBD II).
The indicator light turns on when the ignition is
switched on and turns off once the engine is
started and is running in idle at a stable speed.
This indicates that the MIL is functioning correct­
ly .
If the light does not turn off after starting the
engine
or turns on while driving, this may indi­
cate there is a malfunction in the engine. If the indicator turns on, the catalytic converter may be
damaged .
Drive
with reduced engine performance (avoid
high speeds for extended periods of time and/or
fast acceleration) and have the malfunction cor­
rected. See an authorized Audi dealer or author ­
ized Audi Service Fac ility .
The electronic speed limiter may be faulty if the
indicator light turns on . For additional informa­
tion, see¢
page 102, Electronic speed limiter .
The MIL indicator light may also turn on if the
fuel filler cap is not closed correctly
c> page 316.
Cockpit overview
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 19 Locatio n of Data Li nk 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 filler cap is prop­
erly closed (only vehicles with gasoline engine)
<=>page 316 .
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 Lin k Connector
(DLC). The DLC is located to the right of the hood
release
¢ fig . 19 .
Your authorized Aud i 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 colli­
sion!
