~ /o Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Ill
(USA models) ;II (Canada models) in the in-
strument cluster is part of the On-Board Diag-
nostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when
the ignition is switched on and goes out after
the engine starts and the idle has stabilized.
This indicates that the MIL is work ing proper-
ly.
If the light does not go out after the engine
is started, or illuminates whi le you are driv-
ing, a malfunction may exist in the engine sys-
tem. If the light illuminates, the catalytic con-
verter could be damaged.
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoid-
ing sustained high speeds and/or rapid accel-
erations) and have the condition corrected.
Contact your author ized Audi dealer.
If the lig ht ill uminates, the electronic speed
limiter may also be malfunctioning. For more
information c:::> page 25, Electronic speed
limiter .
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate
c:::> page 192.
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
maxim um speed of your vehicle. To reduce the
risk of sudden tire failure and loss of control if
the vehicle is operated at excessive speeds,
your vehicle also has an electronic speed limit-
er. The electronic speed limiter prevents your
vehicle from going faster than the tire speed
rating. For more informat ion

Speed rating (letter code).
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehi-
cle roadspeed signals, the Malfunction Indica-
tor Light (MIL)
¢..ijjwill illuminate. If this oc-

A WARNING
