Location of warning lights on the dashboard of a vehicle depends on the model and engine performance. Presented herein are the icons on the respective test tubes.  | System airbags |
The warning lamp lights up after switching on the ignition for a few seconds. On vehicles with an airbag for the disabled passenger the control lamp blinks for about 12 seconds.
If the lamp goes off, or during the movement will start to burn, flashing or blinking, the system is faulty airbags. Such a system should be immediately checked in the service enterprise a Volkswagen. | Direction indicator when towing a trailer |
The indicator lamp blinks with indicator lamps on the vehicle and trailer.
If the vehicle or on the trailer broke down one of the indicator lamps, control lamp does not blink.  | Rear fog light |
After switching on the rear fog light warning lamp.  | Side lights |
The warning lamp lights up when the parking lights.  | Electronic anti-theft system |
When the ignition is automatically code request to the ignition key. A comparison of the data is confirmed by the flashing warning lamp.
If no shared key is used, the changing nature of the flashing warning lamp - it is now flashing at short intervals. By car you can not use.  | Turn indicator |
Depending on which side of the car flashing turn indicators, while the left or right flashing warning lamp. If one of the indicator lamps out of order, warning lamp flashes twice as fast as usual. This does not occur when towing a trailer.  | Distant Light |
The control lamp burns at the included headlight and emit a light signal.  | Pre-heater (only for diesel vehicles) |
With a cold engine warning lamp lights up when the position of the motion ("Ignition ON").
If the test lamp is not lit, then it follows that there is a fault in the preheater - require skilled care.
After the warning lamp goes off, you should immediately start the engine.
With the engine at operating temperature, the control lamp does not light up - you can immediately start the engine.
If while driving a vehicle equipped with a diesel engine, any irregularities in the management of engine work, what will know the flashing warning lamp, the engine should immediately check on the service enterprise a Volkswagen.  | Traction control (ASR) |
The warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on and should go out after about 2 seconds.
The lamp flashes when driving during the operation traction system.
When traction control is turned off or in violation of its work the control lamp burns continuously.
Since the traction control works in conjunction with anti-lock braking system and traction control, in violation of the anti-lock braking system warning lamp lights up and traction control system ASR. | The stabilization system (ESP) |
The warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on and should go out after about 2 seconds.
Electronic Stability includes traction control.
The lamp flashes when driving during the operation of the electronic system of stabilization.
When the system is off or in violation of its work the control lamp burns continuously.
Because the stabilization system works in conjunction with anti-lock braking and traction control, in case of failure of the anti-lock lamp lights as well stabilization system.  | Anti-lock braking system (ABS) |
The warning lamp warns of a fault in the anti-lock braking system and traction control. Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
The warning lamp lights up after the ignition or the engine during start-up for a few seconds. It goes out after the process of automatic test system performance.
If the warning light when the ignition does not light up after a few seconds after the ignition does not go out or lights up during movement, the anti-lock system is not in order.
If there is a fault in the ABS may:
- If while driving lights is only one indicator lamp antilock brake system, the vehicle can still be braked a properly functioning braking system without an anti-lock system. It should be as soon as possible to contact the service company Volkswagen;
- If the antilock warning lamp is lit with the control system of the brake lamp, it means that there is a problem not only in ABS but also in the brake system. It should be expected changes in normal operation the braking system.
A warning  After sunbathing both warning lights should immediately stop and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. If the level is below the "MIN", you can not continue to move - need skilled care.
If the brake fluid level is normal, it may be a fault in the ABS. As a result of a malfunction of the ABS braking possible premature blocking the rear wheel. Under certain conditions, this can lead to failure of the rear brakes.
It is necessary to follow with increased caution in the near Volkswagen service company for repair.
The traction control system (EDS)
Traction control (differential lock with electronic control) works in conjunction with ABS. A fault in the system indicates protivobuksovochnoi sunbathing ABS warning lamp. It should be as soon as possible to contact the service company Volkswagen.
 | Parking brake |
When the parking brake applied and the ignition on, the control lamp burns. It should go off when the parking brake is released.  | Battery discharge |
The warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on. It should go out after starting the engine.
The generator drive is carried out by means of a durable belt with ribs.
If during movement the control lamp lights up, you must stop, switch off the engine and check the status of the V-ribbed belt.
If the belt tension is weakened or broken belt, the movement can not continue - the coolant pump motor is no longer driven. Status belt should be checked, if necessary, the belt should be replaced.
If the warning lamp lights up, and the timing belt the coolant pump motor is not weakened or torn, you can continue driving to the nearest service enterprise a Volkswagen.
Since the battery is continuously discharged, turn off all the electricity consumers, the inclusion of which is optional.  | Seat belts |
The warning lamp (only on vehicles for export to certain countries) lights up after the ignition for about 6 seconds as a reminder of the need to wear seat belts.
If seat belts are not put on after the ignition is switched buzzer sounds. It subsides after putting on seat belts or approximately 6 seconds.  | The temperature of the coolant / coolant level |
The warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched a few seconds: performance testing.
If the warning lamp in the future is not extinguished or when moving from flashing or blinking, this indicates either too high coolant temperature or too low a level of coolant in the cooling system. As a further three times warning beep sounds.
It should stop the car, stop the engine and check the coolant level. If necessary, top up the coolant.
A warning Or when not open the hood when you see that from the engine compartment is steam or coolant flows - risk of burns. Wait until until no more steam escapes or leaking coolant.
Make sure that your hands are not caught in the zone of the fan! The fan might suddenly start to rotate - even with the ignition off!
To avoid burns at a high temperature coolant, you should consider the following: Be careful when opening the expansion bottle cooling system. During hot engine cooling system overpressure. Therefore, before filling plug the expansion tank should allow engine to cool down; to protect your face and hands from steam and hot coolant radiator cap cover the fairly large piece of thick cloths.
Make sure that the coolant does not hit the hot parts of the exhaust system or other hot elements of the design. The information contained in the low-temperature coolant additive can ignite.
If the coolant level is normal, in violation of the cooling system can be caused by a malfunction of the fan. Check the fuse of the fan and replace it if necessary.
If the warning light does not go off even though the coolant level is normal and the fuse of the fan is serviceable, you should not continue to move - need care.
If the reason is the failure of the fan, and provided that the coolant level is normal, and the control light goes out, you can continue driving to the nearest service enterprise a Volkswagen. To use cooling fluid oncoming air flow, to avoid idling of the engine and movement of a very low speed.
 | Engine oil pressure |
The warning lamp lights up for a few seconds when the ignition to verify that.
If the warning light does not go out, as an additional warning sound beep 3 times. The engine can not run! You should check the engine oil level and add oil if necessary.
If the motion control lamp lights or flashes when the engine speed 1500 rev / min as an additional warning 3 times the buzzer sounds. It should stop, turn off the engine, check the oil level and if necessary top up the oil.
If the warning light flashes, despite the fact that the engine oil level is normal, you can not keep going. The engine also does not have to idle. The necessary skills.
If while running the engine runs at extremely low speed (speed lower than the idle speed), it may happen that the oil pressure warning lamp lights up. Then we must increase the engine speed with the accelerator pedal or a switch to a lower gear.
A warning Oil pressure warning lamp is not a means of monitoring the oil level in the engine! Therefore, you should regularly check the oil level, it is best at each refueling.
 | brake system |
The control lamp burns at too low brake fluid level.
The ignition must also be enabled at the same time.
On vehicles without a separate control lamp of lay brake system warning lamp illuminates braking system also tightened when the parking brake system.
The lamp goes out when you release the lever.
For vehicles with anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light comes on for a few seconds after switching on the ignition or start the engine. At failure of the ABS brake system warning lamp illuminates in conjunction with the ABS lamp.
A warning If after starting the engine control lamp goes out or lights while driving, it indicates too low brake fluid level. Immediately to stop. Continue the movement is impossible - need care.
If the warning lamp lights up the brake system with ABS lamp may breach the ABS. When braking, possibly blocking the rear wheel. Under certain conditions, this can lead to failure of the rear brakes.
It is necessary to follow with increased caution in the near Volkswagen service company for repair.
 | The level of windshield washer fluid |
The warning lamp lights up when the level is too low washer fluid windshield in a tank.
 | Fuel |
