Vital importance infringements (red pictogrammes)

THE GENERAL DATA

Following messages on infringements of normal work or the vital importance prevention can be specified:

Pressure of oil too low;

Infringement in brake system;

Level of a cooling liquid too low or temperature of a cooling liquid too high;

Infringements in brake system and in antiblocking system.

These pictogrammes of vital importance warn about danger. Therefore it is necessary to stop and muffle the engine!

Eliminate infringement. If necessary it is necessary to address for the qualified technical help.

If some infringements of vital importance are marked, pictogrammes appear one for another approximately for 2 seconds everyone. Pictogrammes blink until infringement will not be eliminated.

Pressure of oil in the engine

The text message: "STOP! OLSTAND PRUFEN" ("STOP! CHECK up OIL LEVEL").

If at movement it appears, it is necessary to stop and switch off the engine. Check up oil level in the engine and if necessary add oil.

If the pictogramme blinks in spite of the fact that oil level in the engine in norm, to continue movement it is impossible. The engine should not work even on single turns – the qualified help is necessary.

Brake system

The text message: STOP! BREMSFLUSSiGKEIT PRUFEN "("STOP! CHECK up TOPМОЗНУЮ the LIQUID").

The pictogramme appears at too small level of a brake liquid.

It is necessary to stop the car and to check up level of a brake liquid.

If level of a brake liquid in a tank has fallen below a mark "MIN", still it is possible to proceed with the raised care to the nearest service enterprise a Volkswagen.

At malfunction in АБС regulation of brake effort of back brake mechanisms stops. Therefore there is a propensity of brake mechanisms to earlier blocking of back wheels.

The prevention

If level of a brake liquid in norm, infringement of normal work АБС is possible. Thus probably at braking early blocking of back wheels. At определенней circumstances it can lead to failures of back brake mechanisms.
It is necessary to proceed urgently with the raised care in the nearest service enterprise a Volkswagen for malfunction elimination.

Temperature of a cooling liquid/level of a cooling liquid

The text message: "STOP! KUHLMITTEL PRUFEN" ("STOP! CHECK up COOLING LIQUID").

If during movement the pictogramme lights up or blinks, is possible or excessive rise in temperature of a cooling liquid, or too low level of a cooling liquid.

It is necessary to stop, switch off the engine and to check up level of a cooling liquid. If necessary to add cooling liquid.

If level of a cooling liquid in norm, infringement in work of system of cooling can be caused malfunction of the fan. Check up a safety lock of the fan and if necessary replace it.

If the control lamp does not die away, though level of a cooling liquid normal and a fan safety lock serviceable, it is not necessary to continue movement – the qualified help is necessary.

In case the reason is covered in malfunction of the fan and provided that level of a cooling liquid in norm, and the text message on the display has disappeared, it is possible to continue movement to the nearest service enterprise a Volkswagen. To use for cooling of a liquid a stream of counter air, it is necessary to avoid idling of the engine and movement with very small speed.

Antiblocking system (ABS)

The text message: "STOP! ABS STORUNG" ("STOP! INFRINGEMENT In WORK АБС").

The pictogramme signals about infringements in work of antiblocking system and противобуксовочной systems with притормаживанием a revolving wheel.

In the presence of malfunction in АБС probably following:

 – If the control lamp of antiblocking system burns only one, the car can be still braked one normally functioning working brake system without antiblocking system. It is necessary to address as soon as possible in the service enterprise a Volkswagen.
 – If the control lamp of antiblocking system burns together with a control lamp of brake system, it means that not only there is a malfunction in АБС, but also it is necessary to expect changes in normal work of brake system.

Protivobuksovochnaja system with притормаживанием a revolving wheel (EDS)

The protivobuksovochnaja system with притормаживанием a revolving wheel works together with antiblocking system. In malfunction in противобуксовочной to system specifies fire of control lamp АБС. It is necessary to address more likely whenever possible in the service enterprise a Volkswagen.
