AIR
BAG – Air bag system
1)
The indicator light must come on when
the ignition is switched on, and go out
after about 10 seconds.
If the light does not go out, or if it comes
on while driving, this indicates a
malfunction in the Air bag system.
If the indicator light does not come on
when the ignition is switched on, this also
indicates a system malfunction.
If any of these conditions occur, have the
Air bag system inspected immediately by
your Audi dealer. See page 160 for
further details.

USA models only
– Emission Control
System (ECS)
*
Vehicles having this indicator light are
equipped with an on-board diagnostic
system. This system monitors the various
components of your Emission Control.
Each controlled component in your
Emission Control System has been
coded. In case of a malfunction the
respective component will be identified
and the fault stored in the control unit's
memory.
The stored data can be displayed by a
flashing code of the ECS-malfunction
indicator light to assure an accurate
diagnosis.
Your authorized Audi dealer can interpret
the code and make the necessary
correction.
The ECS-malfunction indicator light
comes on when the ignition is switched
on and will go out after the engine is
started. This is to assure you that the
indicator light is functioning properly.
*
where applicable
If the light does not go out after starting
the engine or if it should come on while
driving, this indicates that there is a
malfunction in the Emission Control
System. Continue driving with reduced
power and have the cause corrected
promptly by an Audi dealer or a qualified
workshop.
