On-Board Diagnostic
system (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL )
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ¢• in
the instr ument cluste r is part of the On-Board
Diagnostic (O8D
II) system .
The warning/i ndicator 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 working proper-
ly.
If the light does not go out after the engine
is started, or illuminates while you are driv-
ing, a malfunction may exist in the engine sys-
tem.
If t he light illuminates, the cat alytic 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 authorized Audi dea ler.
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed
limiter may also be malfunct ioning. For more
informat ion

If the fuel filler cap is closed incorrectly, this
may also cause the MIL to turn on
