Audi A6 Typ 4G: Cooling system

Switch off engine and check coolant level!

The coolant level is too low.

Do not continue driving and switch the engine off. Check the coolant level.

• If the coolant level is too low, add coolant. Only continue driving once the indicator light turns off.

Coolant temperature too high! Please let engine run with vehicle stationary

Let the engine run at idle for a few minutes to cool off, until the indicator light turns off.

• If the indicator light does not turn off, do not continue driving the vehicle. See an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for assistance.

WARNING

• Never open the hood if you can see or hear steam or coolant escaping from the engine compartment. This increases the risk of burns. Wait until you no longer see or hear steam or coolant escaping.
• The engine compartment in any vehicle can be a dangerous area. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before working in the engine compartment.

Note

Do not continue driving if the indicator light turns on - this increases the risk of engine damage.

Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility immediately. Because the vehicle battery is discharging, turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment such as the radio. See your authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility if the battery charge level is too low.

Low battery charge: Battery will be charged while driving

The starting ability may be impaired.

If this message turns off after a little while, the vehicle battery charged enough while driving.

If the message does not turn off, have an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility repair the malfunction.

Engine stop while driving

Engine stopped: No power steering and brake support.

There is a malfunction in the engine or in the fuel supply system.

More force is needed to steer and brake the moving vehicle when the engine is stopped. If the vehicle is rolling, try to bring it to a stop off to the side from moving traffic. See an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for assistance.

WARNING

If the engine stops while driving, you will need to use more force to brake the vehicle.

This increases the risk of an accident. There will still be power steering if the ignition is switched on while the vehicle is rolling and there is sufficient battery charge. Otherwise, you must use greater force when steering.
