Brake Warning lights and what they mean for you.
This light means that either the handbrake is applied, the brake fluid level is too low, or the brake system is faulty.
If your handbrake is applied, ensure you release it safely. If this does not resolve the issue, bring your vehicle to your nearest Volkswagen retailer to have the error corrected.
Important:
Lift the lever arm up, press the lock button and pull the lever arm down.
If the light is illuminated: brake pedal not is depressed. To engage a gear, press the brake pedal.
If the light is flashing: The locking button on the gear selector has not clicked into place. The car cannot be started until it is put into gear. To put into gear, the brake pedal must be depressed and the gear selector fully clicked into place.
Fully depress the brake pedal all the way down.
Visit your nearest Volkswagen retailer to have your brake pads checked as soon as possible. They may need replacement.
