On Board Diagnostic
System (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) I! in the
i n str ument cluster is part of the On-Board Diag­
nostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when the
ignit ion is switched on and goes ou t after the en­
g in e starts and the idle has st abilized. This indi­
cates that the MIL is working properly .
If the light does not go out after the engine is
started, or illuminates wh ile you are dr iving, a
malfunct ion may exis t in the engine system.
If
28
the light illuminates, the catalyt ic converte r
could be damaged.
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoidi ng
sustai ned high speeds and/or rapid accelera­
tions) and have the condition corrected. Contact
your authorized Audi dealer.
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate
q page 200.
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 18 Location of Data Link Connector (DLC)
On-Boa rd Diagnostics monitors the components
of your emission control system. Each monitored
component in your engine system has been as­
s ig ned a code . In case o f a malfunct ion, the com­
ponent will be identified and the fault stored as a
code in the contro l 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 refuelling, stop
the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is properly closed
q page 200.
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 Link Connector
(DLC). The DLC is located to the right of the hood
release <=>
fig. 18.
Your authorized Audi dealer or a qua lified service
station can interpret the code and perform the
necessary repair. .,.

A WARNING ,~
Do not use the diagnostic connector for pe r­
sonal use . Incorrect usage can cause malfu nc­
t ions, which can i ncrease the risk of a colli­
sion !

break-in into the vehicle, acoustic and visual
warning signals are triggered .
The anti-theft warning system is activated auto­ matically when you lock the vehicle. It is deacti­
vated when unlocking using the remote key, with
the mechanical key, and when you switch the ig­ nition on .
The alarm also turns off when the alarm cycle has
expired .
Turn signals When you unlock the vehicle, the turn signals
flash twice. When you lock the vehicle the turn
signals flash once. If they do not flash, one of the
doors, the rear lid or the hood is not locked.
