8 Important Audi S3 Dashboard Indicators

Central Indicator Light: This is an exclamation point within a triangle. It's the most general warning light that you'll find on the Audi S3, and it could represent a variety of automotive ailments. Contact us now!

Brake Light: You shouldn't drive anywhere if your brakes aren't working properly. The brake warning is just the word BRAKE in all caps, and it requires immediate professional attention. Our guys could help.

Engine Coolant Light: If you notice a red symbol that looks like a thermometer submerged in liquid, it could be the Engine Coolant Light. Don't continue driving-switch the engine off-check the coolant.

Oil Pressure Low Warning: This one looks like an oil can with a drop coming out of it, and it's one that you'll want to pay attention to. Low oil pressure can seriously harm your engine, compromising efficiency, performance, and even safety. Trust us, you don't want to drive around with improper oil pressure, ok?

Electrical System Malfunction Light: If a red battery icon lights up on your dash, there's an issue with your Audi's electrical system. This can impact a lot of important functions... Even starting the engine!

Power Steering Malfunction: Without power steering, the S3 is much more difficult to drive. You'll also have a lot less control over the wheel. A steering wheel next to an exclamation point indicates an issue.

Transmission Malfunction Warning: A transmission malfunction is one of the most serious things that can happen to any automobile. Pull over safely, park the car, and contact your local Audi service center.

Brake Wear Indicator: The words BRAKE WEAR (in all caps, just like that) let you know that your brake's pads are significantly worn down. This means that it's time to have them replaced at an Audi dealership.

Different Colors-Different Meanings

One of the most important things to remember about your car's dashboard lights is that there are different types, and that these different types require different actions on your part. Take a look. 

Green Symbols: These are typically there to just let you know that everything is working properly.

Yellow Icons: Let's say that there's a stabilization control malfunction, a parking brake malfunction, pressure loss in at least one tire, or something of that sort. In that case, a yellow indicator would illuminate. It means that there's definitely something wrong with your Audi S3-schedule service.

Red Warnings: Red warning lights on your S3's dashboard are the most serious. If one of them comes on, you should pull over immediately. Do not continue to drive until a professional has serviced the vehicle.
