=> page 19. •
Defective light bulb warning
The defective light bulb warning tells you when a vehicle
light bulb has become defective.
If a defective bulb has been detected by the system or a light bulb
burns out, the symbol with a message appears in the display to
tell you which bulb is burnt out and where it is located. For example:
REAR LEFT TURN SIGNAL
After 5 seconds, the message disappears. If you want to recall the
message into the display, press the CHECK button.
There are three reasons why the defective bulb message would appear in the display:
• the light bulb has burnt out=> page 277.
• the fuse is "blown" => page 273, "Replacing a fuse".
• the wire connection to the light bulb is defective.
Have the bulb replaced or the connection repaired by your autho ­
rized Audi Service department.
& WARNING
• Light bulbs are pressurized and could explode while they are
being changed causing serious personal injury.
• Work with due care when handling the high-voltage section of
gas discharge (xenon) lamps*. Failing to do so could result in death
or serious injury! •
Brake light defective K: U (USA
models) / (Canada models)
In case of a malfunction or component failure, the acoustic warning
will sound and the symbol&;
l[ (USA models)/ (Canada
models) can appear.
The following electrical components should be checked, repaired or
replaced, as necessary :
• Brake light bulbs
• All wiring connections
• Brake light switch
Contact your authorized Audi dealer for assistance if necessary.
[ i] Tips
The brake light switch is only inspected as part of the functional
check after the engine is started. •
Applies to vehicles: with automat ic headlights and rain sensor
Light /rain sensor defective >
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS/AUTOMATIC WIPERS DEFECTIVE
If the symbol illuminates, the light sensor has failed. For safety
reasons the low beams are turned on permanently with the switch
in
AUTO. However , you can continue to turn the lights on and off
using the light switch. In the case of a defect in the rain sensor, the
windshield wiper lever functions are still available. Have the
light /rain sensor checked as soon as possible at a dealership. •

- Remove the blown fuse with the plastic clip provided .
The clip is located on the holder in the fuse box .
Replace a blown fuse (recognizable by the melted metal
str ip inside) with a fuse of the same amperage.
- Firmly snap the cover back onto the instrument panel
face.
Fuse cov er in engin e compartment

The various electrical circuits are protected by fuses . The fuses are
clustered in a central ized unit. The unit is located behind the face
panel at the end of the instrument panel.
Two spare fuses and a sticker identifying the fuses are located on
the inside of the fuse box cover.
You are wel l advised to keep a supply of spare fuses in your vehicle .
Fuses with the proper ampere ratings are availab le at your autho­
rized Audi dealer .
& WARNING
Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating .
• A fuse with a too high amperage could damage the electrical
part and cause a fire.
0 Note
• On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin
foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the elec­
trical circuit or cause fire.
• If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have
the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and
fixed. •

The power seats are protected by circuit breakers , which automati­
ca lly reset after a few seconds after the overload has been reme-
died. _,.
