Volkswagen Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
You'll be a well-rounded Volkswagen driver if you learn what your vehicle's warning indicators mean. Here are 10 indicator lights you will likely find on your dashboard.
Airbag Fault
Your Airbag Fault light indicates that a flaw exists in your vehicle's supplemental restraint system. Repairs are necessary for proper airbag inflation.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
When this light appears, it signifies low gas in your tank. Find a nearby gas station to refuel before continuing to drive.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light notifies you of low oil pressure. To avoid engine damage, do not run your car now. You may correct this problem by adding oil if you find your level inadequate. Still, the problem may be a malfunctioning oil pump.
Service Vehicle Soon
Treat this light as notification to set a service appointment that occurs within a few days. Your car likely has a range of potential reasons associated with its SVS light. Typical reasons include periodic maintenance or minor repairs. Consult your owner's manual for more info.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
The TPMS warning light indicates low tire pressure. You need to adjust your tires' air to the level recommended on the decal found inside your driver's door. Schedule service for your TPMS sensors if the indicator remains lit once you continue your drive.
Slip Indicator
When this light flashes, your car's traction components are responding to slick or unstable roads. If it stays lit on dry, stable surfaces, your traction components likely need repair.
Charging System Warning Light
Frequently, this dashboard indicator displays a battery symbol. It usually notifies you that one of your charging system's components requires replacement. Several solutions exist. See our pros at Camelback Volkswagen for a proper inspection.
Brake System
You have a serious problem in your brake system if this dashboard indicator appears. We advise you not to drive with this light activated. Your brakes may be losing pressure, which is unsafe. Our professional technicians can assess and fix brake problems.
Open Door Warning Light
This light kindly reminds you to shut all your doors. Your trunk or rear hatch may also be connected to this indicator. If a door doesn't shut, it may be obstructed.
Coolant Level Warning
Always turn off your engine if this indicator becomes lit. It signifies an inadequate coolant level. If you drive your car with a coolant problem, you will create extreme engine damage. Even in the case of a slow leak, we urge you not to drive until you repair your coolant system.
