Location of warning lights on the instrument cluster depending on the vehicle model and engine performance. Presented herein icons are available in the respective control valves.
1 - Traction control with torque reduction (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. Because the traction control system works in conjunction with anti-lock brakes and traction control with braking of the wheels probuksovy-linking, for violations of the anti-lock braking system warning lamp lights up and traction control system ASR.
1- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
The warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on and should go out after about 2 seconds. Electronic stability system with traction complements the reduction in engine torque. The lamp flashes when driving during the operation of the electronic system stability or traction control with torque reduction. When the system is off or in violation of its work the control lamp burns continuously. Since the Electronic Stability Program is working with the anti-lock system and also with traction control with braking of revolving wheel in case of failure antilock brake system warning lamp illuminates and an electronic system of stabilization.
2 - Turn signal when towing a trailer
The indicator lamp blinks together with a turn indicator on the car and the trailer. If the vehicle or on the trailer broke down one of the indicator lamps, control lamp does not blink.
3 - Rear fog lights
After switching on the rear fog light warning lamp.
4 - Electronic anti-theft system
When the ignition is automatically code request to the ignition key. A comparison of the data confirmed by a brief warning lamp lighting up. If not approved key is used, combustion control lamp switches to flashing at short intervals. By car you can not use.
5 - Direction indicator
Depending on which side of the car's direction indicators are flashing simultaneously flashing left or right indicator 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.
6 - Distant Light
The control lamp burns at the included headlight and emit a light signal.
7 - The system of airbags
The warning lamp lights up after switching on the ignition for about 3 seconds. On vehicles with an airbag for the disabled passenger the control lamp blinks for about 12 seconds. If the lamp goes out or lights up while driving, the system is faulty airbags. Such a system should be immediately checked in the service enterprise a Volkswagen.
8 - Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
The warning lamp warns of a fault in the anti-lock braking system and traction control with braking of a revolving wheel.
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 the warning light illuminates antilock only one on the road, 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 to be expected changes in normal operation the braking system.
A warning  After sunbathing both warning lights possible braking premature blocking the rear wheel. It is urgent to contact the service company Volkswagen.
Traction control with braking of revolving wheel (EDS)
Traction control with braking of revolving wheel (differential lock with electronic control) works in conjunction with ABS. A fault in the traction control system with braking of revolving wheel indicates ignition of the ABS warning lamp. It should be as soon as possible to contact the service company Volkswagen.
9 - 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.
10 - Discharge of the battery
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-belt with ribs. If the belt tension is weakened or broken belt can not keep going - the coolant pump motor is no longer driven. Belt condition should be checked and, 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.
11 - 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 alarm sounds. It subsides after putting on seat belts or approximately 6 seconds.
12 - Coolant temperature / coolant level
The warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched a few seconds - testing. If the warning lamp does not go out in the future or when driving lights up or flashes a witness exists or too high coolant temperature, or too low a level of coolant in the cooling system. As an additional warning 3 times the alarm sounds, thus it is necessary to stop the car, stop the engine and check the coolant level. If necessary, top up the coolant.
A warning Never open the bonnet, when you see chto from the engine compartment is steam or coolant flows - risk of burns! 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 the 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 is defective fan, you should not continue to move - need care. In the event that the reason lies in 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.
13 - 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 and 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. 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.
14 - Brakes
The control lamp burns at too low brake fluid level. The ignition must also be enabled at the same time. 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 brakes, 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 should look for the nearest service enterprise a Volkswagen, and check the braking system.
On the way to be prepared for the need to press hard on the brake pedal during braking to increase braking distance and increased free movement of the brake pedal.
If the warning lamp lights up the brake system with anti-lock control lamp may braking premature blocking the rear wheel.
15 - Index of deterioration brake linings
Should contact the service company Volkswagen to check the status of brake linings. Since pointer brake pad wear indicates a high wear on only the front brake, we recommend that, along with the replacement of front brake pads check the condition of the rear brake linings.
16 - The level of windshield washer fluid
The warning lamp lights up when the liquid level is too low for washing the windshield in a tank.
17 - Fuel
The warning lamp lights up when the supply of fuel is reduced to approximately 8 liters.
18 - 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 it follows that there is a fault in the preheater. 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.
A warning 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.
