CONTROLS AND
If the warning light is flashing, it can also
mean that the vehicle is riding ''too high"
(above the highest level). Once again, do
not drive off until the warning light stops
flashing.
If the .warning light stays on continuously,
there 1s a problem with the ride height ad­
JUStment system. The light will also come
on continuously if the vehicle is on an ex­
treme incline.
Trouble in the ESP may also cause the warn­
ing light to remain on continuously.
A system failure can cause the vehicle to
have too little or too much ground clear­
ance. Drive very carefully and slowly to your
nearest authorized Audi dealer and have the
fault corrected.
See page 1 53 for additional information.

Electronic Stability
Program {ESP)
The indicator light lights up when the igni­
tion is turned on, and it must go out after
about
2
seconds.
When the ESP system is in control mode,
this indicator light will flash while the ve­
hicle is being operated.
When you start the engine,
the ESP
may shut off for safety reasons. The indica­
tor light also turns on to indicate this status.
If this should happen, you can reactivate the
ESP by turning the ignition off and then on
�gain. This indicator light will go out, indicat­
Ing that the system is once again operating
properly.
If the system is off or is malfunctioning, the
indicator light will remain on.
Since the ESP system works together with
the ABS system, the ESP indicator light will
also come on if the ABS stops operating.
Electronic immobilizer
�
When you turn on the ignition, the vehicle
key data are automatically scanned. The
in­
dicator light will come on briefly, indicating
that the data verification procedure has
been acknowledged.
If a non-coded vehicle key was used (for ex­
ample a duplicate key), the control light
goes to a continuous flashing mode. If this
happens, the vehicle cannot be started. See
