Audi electronic check

Top-of-the-range Audis have an electronic check system that automatically monitors various systems.

When the check system detects a serious fault, such as loss of engine oil pressure, it displays the oil-pressure symbol on a red background and sounds warning chimes to alert the driver to the danger.

A more minor fault, such as low washer fluid, is displayed on a yellow background to show that it is less serious.

The driver can run the auto-check system by pressing the check button. If all is well, the system lights up 'OK'.
