What Do The Audi Dashboard Lights Mean?

While there are many Audi warning lights, these are some that are helpful to know offhand so you can react appropriately if you see them during your drives in Midland: 

• Safety Belt: The red, blinking icon depicting a seatbelted passenger indicates that one or more passengers need to fasten their safety belts.
• Drive System: The car icon with an exclamation mark indicates a malfunction in the drive system, requiring the driver to pull over as soon as it is safe. If the light is red, do not continue driving; contact a towing service to bring the car to the nearest authorized Audi dealer. If the light is yellow, your driving power is limited; drive slowly to the dealership for service.
• Brake System: The “BRAKE” light can indicate numerous warnings. If the light is accompanied by a malfunction message in the brake system, do not continue driving; bring the car to the nearest authorized Audi dealer for service. If the light indicates worn brake pads, you can continue driving, but you should schedule service immediately. You may also see the “BRAKE” light as a warning to check the brake fluid. If the fluid level is low, do not continue driving and contact the dealer for assistance.
• Lane Departure Warning Intervention: The Lane Departure Warning icon depicts a car in a road lane. If the light is white, the system is on but not ready to provide warnings. If the light is green, the system is on and ready to give warnings for at least one side of the car. If the light is red, the system will warn you with a corrective steering intervention before exiting the lane. A white light with the word “OFF” indicates the system is turned off.
• Cooling System: If you see a red light with a thermometer and wavy lines, the coolant temperature is too high. Pull over and stop the car when it is safe, then turn off the engine for approximately 15 minutes before restarting. If the red light remains on, do not continue driving; see an authorized Audi dealer for service.
• Bulb Failure Indicator: An icon depicting a light bulb indicates that at least one lamp is malfunctioning; schedule service promptly to resolve the issue.
• Airbag System: If the indicator light showing an inflated airbag comes on and remains illuminated, or flashes while driving, there may be a malfunction in the system; schedule service immediately.
