Audi Warning Lights & Indicators
I drive a 1998 Audi A6 Quattro. It's a nice car, but I don't seem to speak its language. Every now and then, the dashboard computer will display a warning icon that I am unable to understand. Here are those symbols and what they actually mean. For more information, turn to this PDF user guide.
