system
(OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL )
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL ) ¢• in
the instr ument cluste r is part of the On-Board
Diagnost ic (O8D

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 cond ition corrected .
Contact your authorized Audi dea ler.
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed
limiter may also be malfunct ioning. For more
