Priorit y
1 (Red symbols)
These Priority 1 symbols imply
danger.
For this reason you must
stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine!
Repair
the
fault.
Expert
help
might
be
needed.
If
there
is
more
than
one
fault
of
Priority
1
the
symbols
will
appear
one
after
the
other
for
two
seconds
at
a
time.
The
symbols
will
flash
until
the
fault
has
been
corrected.
The
following
faults or
warnings
of
priority
1
can be
displayed:
Engine oil pressure
The
information
note
says:
"STOP!
OIL PRESS.
STOP
MOTOR!
SERVICE
MANUAL".
If
this
symbol
flashes
when
driving,
stop,
switch engine off.
Check
oil
level
and
if
necessary,
add oil - see
Booklet
3.1, "En-
gine
oil".
Warning
Please
refer to the warning notes
on
page 60 before carrying out
any kind of work in the engine
compartment.
If the
symbol
flashes
although
the oil
level
is
in
order,
do not drive on.
Do
not
even
run
the
engineat
idling
speed-call
in
expert
assistance.
The oil pressure warning lamp is not
an oil level indicator! The oil level
should
therefore be checked at reg-
ular intervals, preferably every time
the fuel tank is filled.
Brake system (©)
This
symbol
can
monitor
up to
three
func-
tions
at
one
time:
1 - Brake fluid
The
information
note
says:
"STOP!
BRAKE FLUID
SERVICE
MANUAL".
This
symbol
comes
on
when
the
brake
fluid
level
is
too
low.
Stop
vehicle and check brake fluid
level.
Warning
Please
refer to the warning notes
on
page 60 before carrying out
any kind of work in the engine
compartment.
Warning
If the brake fluid level in the
res-
ervoir has fallen below the
"MIN"
level, do not drive on.
Please
call for expert
assistance.
If the brake fluid level is satisfac-
tory,
the fault might stem from
the ABS. The rear
wheels
can
block
relatively quickly if the
regulating
function of the ABS
fails. This could possibly lead the ,
rear of the vehicle to skid.
Drive carefully to the next Volk-
swagen dealer and have the fault
corrected.

2 - ABS and EDL* system
The
information
note
says:
"STOP!
BRAKE FAULT
SERVICE
MANUAL".
If the brake system warning lamp
flashes whilst the ABS warning
lamp
is lit up,
not
only
is
the
ABS
system
defective,
but you
must
also
expect
the
brake
system
to
respond
differently
to the
normal
response.
Warning
Please
refer to the warning notes
on
page 60 before carrying out
any kind of work in the engine
compartment.
Warning
If both the ABS indicator lamp
and
the brake system warning
lamp
light up, you must stop the
vehicle immediately and check
the brake fluid level. If the fluid
level is below the "MIN" mark,
do
not drive on.
Please
ask for ex-
pert
assistance.
If the brake fluid level is at a
sat-
isfactory level, the fault might
stem from the ABS. The rear
wheels
can block relatively
quickly
if the regulating function
of
the ABS fails. This could poss-
ibly
lead the rear of the vehicle to
skid.
Drive carefully to the next Volk-
swagen dealer and have the fault
corrected.
Further
details
on
ABS are
given
in
Booklet
3.2.
under
"Braking".
The
EDL
system
works
in
conjunction
with
the
ABS. Failure of the EDL
system
is
indi-
cated
by the ABS
warning
lamp
lighting
up.
This
lamp
will
also
light
up if the TCS and
ESP
should
fail.
The
vehicle
should
be
taken
to
a
Volkswagen
dealer
as
soon
as
possible.
3 - Handbrake*
The
information
note
says:
"HANDBRAKE
ON".
.
When
the handbrake is pulled on and
the
ignition
is
switched
on, the
warning
lamp
will
light
up. It
must
go
out
when
the
handbrake
is
released.
If it
does
not,
there
is
a
fault
in the
brake
system.
A
warning
signal
will
sound
if the
vehicle
is
driven
at
speeds
higher
than
6
km/h.
