Instruments and warning/indicator lights
Airbag system
~
This warning/indicator light monitors the airbag and the
tensioner systems.
The GA warning light illuminates for a few seconds each time you
switch on the ignition.
If the
ffl warning light does not go out, or if it illuminates while you
are driving, or if it starts to flash, then there is a malfunction some -
where in the system. If the ligh t does not illuminate when you
switch on the ignition, this also means there is a malfunction.
& WARNING
If you have a malfunction in the airbag system, contact your autho-
rized Audi dealer immediately. Otherwise the airbag or the belt
tensioner may not work properly in an accident. •
Tire pressure monitoring system - telltale
indicator lamp
D
The warning/indicator light appears in the event of a
significant loss of air pressure.
The warning/indicator light il luminates for a few seconds after
the ignition is turned on as function check and then goes out.
If the ( symbol appears, pressure is too low in at least one tire.
When the system detects a malfunction, the warning/indicator light
will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continu -
ously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle starts up as long as the malfunction exists. Contact your
authorized Audi dealer and have the malfunction corrected.

Cruise control
CRUISE (USA models) / •0 (Canada models)
The CRUISE warning/indicator light illuminates when the cruise
control is activated. •
Anti-lock brake system
(USA models) / (Canada models)
This warning/indicator light monitors the ABS and the
electronic differential lock (EDL).
The A S warning light will come on for a few seconds when the igni-
tion is switched on. The light will go out after an automatic check
sequence is completed.
There is a malfunction in the ABS when:
• the warning/indicator light does not illum inate when you switch
on the ignition.
• the warning/indicator light does not go out after a few seconds.
• the warning/indicator light illuminates while driving.
Without the electronic assistance of the ABS, the brake system will
still respond and brake the car. Have the brake system checked and
restored to its full performance by an authorized Audi dealer as
soon as possible.
For more information regarding the ABS see
=> page 216.
Since any malfunction of the ABS also affects the ESP, that system's
warning symbol .,
=> page 22 will light up along with the n /
(Canada models) warning light.
Unspecific malfunction in the brake system
If both the brake warning light => page 23 and the c.., warning light
illuminate when the parking brake is released, the likely cause is a
serious malfunction in the brake system beyond an inoperative ABS
