Instruments and warning/indicator lamps16
Additional warning and indicator lamps are displayed on vehicles
equipped with the adaptive cruise control* ⇒ page 134.
Note
A number of functions are monitored by the auto-check control
⇒ page 21. If a malfunction should occur, this will be shown by the
display in the instrument cluster either with a red symbol (priority 1
– serious malfunction) or a yellow symbol (priority 2 – other
malfunction or item requiring attention).
Applies to vehicles: with Audi drive select
Dynamic steering
If the warning lamp lights up when you switch on the ignition and
goes out when the engine has started, the dynamic steering is acti-
vated.
If the warning lamp stays on after the engine has started, this
indicates a malfunction in the system. You can continue driving
carefully at reduced speed to the next qualified workshop, however
the steering may feel heavier and its response may be more sensi-
tive than usual. In addition, it is possible that the steering wheel will
be off centre when driving in a straight line.
WARNING
Have the system malfunction in the dynamic steering repaired by
a qualified workshop as soon as possible – risk of accident.
Note
• If the warning lamp flashes, this indicates that the dynamic
steering is being initialised. The message “Dynamic steering: Initial-
ising” ⇒ page 36 will appear in the driver information system
display.
• The stabilisation functions of the dynamic steering ⇒ page 222
are not available in the event of a system malfunction.
Applies to vehicles: with petrol engine
Engine management
This warning lamp monitors the engine management
system on petrol engines.
The warning lamp (Electronic Power Control) lights up when the
ignition is switched on to show that the lamp is working properly.
Note
If the warning lamp lights up while the vehicle is moving, this indi-
cates a fault in the engine management system. The engine should
be serviced by a qualified workshop without delay.
Applies to vehicles: with diesel engine
Glow plug system
The indicator lamp lights up to show that the glow plugs
are preheating.
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic glow plug system.
The indicator lamp lights up while the glow plugs are preheating.
If the engine fails to start immediately, the glow plugs have not
finished preheating. In this case, keep the clutch pedal depressed
(or keep your foot on the brake if your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox) until the engine starts.
