On Board Diagnostic
System (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ¢..ifi in the
instrument 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 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 wh ile you are driving, a
28
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 dea ler.
If t he light illuminates, the electronic speed lim
iter may also be ma lfunctioning. For more infor
mation ¢
page 29, Electronic speed limiter.
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate

pon ent will be identified and the fault stored as a
code in the contro l module memory.
The MIL light may also illum inate if there is a
leak in the on-boa rd fuel vapor recovery system.
If the light illuminates after a refuelling, stop
the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is properly closed

General information
Why is your seat adjustment so important?
The safety belts and the airbag system can only
provide maximum protection if the front seats are corr ectly adjusted .
There are various ways of adjusting the front
seats to provide safe and comfortable support
for the driver and the front passenger . Adjust
your seat properly so that:
- you can easily and quickly reach all the switches
and controls in the instrument panel
- your body is properly supported thus reducing
physical stress and fatigue
- the safety belts and a irbag system can offer
maximum protection
<=:> page 142.
In the following sections, you will see exact ly
how you can best adjust your seats.
There are spec ial regulations and instr uctions for
installing a child seat on the front passenger's
seat . Always fo llow the information regarding
child safety provided in¢
page 166, Child safe

A WARNING
Incorrect seating position of the driver and all
other passengers can result in serious person
al injury .
- Always keep your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is in motion - never put your feet on
top of the instrument pane l, o ut of the win
dow or on top of the sea t cushion. This ap
plies espe cially to the passengers.
If your
seating pos it ion is inco rrect, yo u increase
the risk of injury in the case of sudden brak
ing or an accident. If the ai rbag inf lates and
the seating position is incorrect, this cou ld
result in personal injury or even death.
- It is important for both the driver and front
passenger to keep a d istance of at least
10 inches (25 cm) between themselves and
the steering wheel and/or instrument pan el. If you're s itting any closer than this, the
airbag system can not protect you properly.
Seat s and sto rage
In addition, the front seats and head re
stra ints must be adjusted to your body
he ight so that they can g ive you maximum
protection .
- Always try to keep as much distance as pos
sible between yourself and the steer ing
wheel or instrument panel.
- Do not adjust the driver's or front passeng
er's seat while the veh icle is moving . Your
seat may move unexpectedly, causing sud
den loss of vehicle contro l and personal in

Driving safety
-Passengers who are unbelted , out of posi
tion or too close to the airbag can be seri
ously injured by an airbag as it unfolds with
great force in the blink of an eye .
- Always make sure that there are at least
10 inches (25 cm) between the front pas
senger 's breastbone and the instrument
panel.
- Always make sure that there are at least
4 inches (10 cm) between the front passen ger's knees and the lower part of the instru
ment panel.
- Each passenger must always sit on a seat of
their own and properly fasten and wear the
safety belt belonging to that seat.
- Before dr iving, always adjust the front pas
senger seat properly .
- For adjustable head restraints: before driv
ing, always also adjust the head restraints
properly .
- Always keep your feet on the floor in front
of the seat. Never rest them on the seat, in
strument pane l, out of the window, etc. The
airbag system and safety be lt will not be
able to protect you properly and can even in
crease the risk of injury in a crash .
- Never dr ive with the backrest reclined or
ti lted far back! The farther the backrests are
ti lted back , the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the safety belt
and improper seating position.
- Children must always ride in child seats
<='> page 166. Special precautions apply
when installing a child seat on the front
passenger seat
<='> page 142.
Proper seating positions for passengers in
rear seats
Rear seat passengers must sit upright with both
feet on the floor consistent with their physical
size and be properly restrained whenever the ve
hicle is in use.
To reduce the r isk of injury caused by an incorrect
seating position in the event of a sudden braking
maneuver or an accident, you r passengers on the
rear bench seat must always observe the follow
ing:
128
.,. For adjustab le head restraints: adjust the head
restraint so the upper edge is as even as possi
ble with the top of your head. If that is not pos
sible, try to adjust the head restraint so that it
is as close to this position as possible
<='> page 128.
.,. Keep both feet flat in the footwell in front of
the rear seat .
.,. Fasten and wear safety belts properly
<='> page 137.

c:::> page 166.
A WARNING

rear seat can be seriously injured in a crash.
- Each passenger must always sit on a seat of
their own and properly fasten and wear the safety belt belonging to that seat .

tioned on the body and securely latched . By
not sitting upright, a rear seat passenger in
creases the risk of personal injury from im
properly positioned safety belts!
