If you disconnect the battery terminals, no calculations can be made
for the service interval display during this time and no service
reminder will appear. Remember that observing the proper service
intervals is vitally important to extending the life of your vehicle,
particularly the engine, and maintaining its value. Even if the mileage
driven is low, the maximum period of one year from one service to the
next must not be exceeded.

display will be incorrect.
• The information in the Service Reminder remains stored even

On-Board Diagnostic system (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) _ in the instrument cluster
=> page 12, fig. 7 is part of the On-Board Diagnostic (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 working properly.
If the light does not go out after the engine is started, or illuminates
while you are driving, a 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 accelerations) and have the condition corrected.
Contact your authorized Audi dealer.
If the light illuminates , the electronic speed limiter may also be
malfunctioning. For more information=>
page 23, "Electronic speed
limiter".
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also cause the MIL light to
illuminate =>

On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components of your emission
control system. Each monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned a code. In case of a malfunction , the component
will be identified and the fault stored as a code in the control 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 refueling, stop
the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is properly closed
