Warning and indicator lights for electric cars
An overview of a selection of symbols and possible meanings of warning and indicator lights for electric cars using an ID.3 as an example.
This selection serves as an example – the symbols and their descriptions often differ for other models and they could also vary over time.
Warning or indicator light not found?
You can look up other lights, their exact meaning and recommended actions for your model in the printed owner’s manual or in the digital owner’s manual in the infotainment system of the vehicle. You are also welcome to use our online version, where you can find the recommended actions for solving issues in your model as well.
Digital owner’s manual
You don’t need to know all the functions and indicator or warning lights in your vehicle by heart. Your manual takes care of that for you – now also available online. For Volkswagen models with a production date from 01/08/2019 onwards, you can simply enter the vehicle identification number (VIN). If you have an older vehicle, all important information can be found in your printed owner’s manual.
