Audi A3: General Dashboard Symbol Overview

Here's a general overview of three different types of Audi A3 dashboard symbols: red, yellow, and green.

• Red Lights: These are the most serious. They indicate that you should pull your car over. Do not continue to drive until you've brought it into a professional! Call for help immediately, alright?
• Yellow Lights: These are the next-most-serious indicators. They're here to let you know that there's a mild issue with your Audi A3. Remember-it might be mild, but it's still an issue.
• Green Lights: These symbols indicate when something is working the way that it ought to.

Audi A3: Specific Dashboard Symbol Overview

Now that we got all that out of the way, let's dive into a few specific Audi A3 dashboard warnings/lights.

Tire Pressure Monitor: In America, cars are required to come with a state-of-the-art TPMS: Tire Pressure Monitoring System. This is extremely helpful, as it helps to ensure that you're not driving on low tires.

Electronic Stabilization Control: The ESC OFF Indicator is a yellow light (those exact letters, in all caps) that means you're driving without the added stability of the ESC. While this isn't an emergency, it's not a good habit to get into. If you're having trouble getting it to turn back on, our technicians can surely help.

Air Suspension: If there's a malfunction with your A3's Air Suspension, it'll show up on your dashboard as an image of a car with a dual-directional arrow that's extending from its center. Contact us right now!

Transmission Malfunction: A Transmission Malfunction Alert is a huge deal. Driving around with a faulty transmission can mean that your car could fail to shift gears when you need it to. If something like this happens while you're on the highway, it could be deadly. Get in touch with an Audi service center today. 

Passenger Safety Belt: Don't drive if you're not wearing your seatbelt. It's the worst decision possible.

Coolant System Fault Light: A red thermometer immersed in liquid means that there's something wrong with the engine's cooling system. Without this cooling system, your engine could overheat/break down.

Battery Charging/Alternator Fault Light: The A3's Battery Charging light (which looks just like a battery, complete with positive and negative symbols) should briefly light up as soon as you turn the car on. But, if it stays on for any longer than that, there could be an issue with the whole system. We can fix that.
