WARNING

¢
page 203,
before open ing the hood and
checking the brake fluid.
- Driving with low brake fluid is a safety haz-
ard. Stop the car and get professional assis-
tance .
- If the
1111
(USA models)/ .
(Canada mod-
els) brake system indicato r light turns on to-
gethe r with the ABS and ESC indicator
lights, the ABS/ESC regu lating function may
have fa iled . Functions that stabilize the ve -
hicle are no longer available . This could
cause the vehicle to swerve and increase the
ris k of sliding . Stop the car and get profes-
sional ass ist ance.
- If the brake warning/indicator
ligh t does
not go out afte r a few seconds and the par k-
ing brake i5 relea5ed, or light5 up wh ile you
are driving, the fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir is too low. If yo u be lieve that it is
safe to do so, proceed immediately at low
speed to the nearest authorized Audi dealer
or qualif ied repa ir facility and have the
brake system inspected.
- Always keep in m ind that after several brake
applications, you will need greater pressure
on the brake pedal to stop your veh icle . Do
not rely on strained brakes to respond with
maximum stopp ing power in cr itical s itua-
tions. You must a llow for increased brak ing
distances. The extra dist a nce used up by
fading bra kes co uld lead to an accident.
