Default 2004 A6 Quattro error codes P0491 & P0492

I have a 2004 Audi A6 Quattro with 76K miles. last night driving in cold weather on a highway I received a check engine light. the error codes that I had pulled today were PO491 & PO492. Secondary air injection system insufficient flow bank 1 & 2. The car seems to be driving fine with no decrease in power, acceleration etc. Can I drive this vehicle for a couple days until I can have a mechanic look at it? what could be the potential problems? thank you so much for your help

I am not mechanically inclined so please understand my knowledge of parts, terms is very limited.

thank you again for any and all help received

The air injection system if for emissions purposes , it will not effect the way the car runs. If both codes appeared at the same time you might have a bad vacuum hose , pressure hose or a bad air injection pump.
