WARNING If the brake warning
light
does not go
out
with
the engine running and the parking brake released or lights up
while driving, the fluid level
in
the brake
fluid reservoir may
be
too low.
This might be
due
to
a
leak in one of the two independently functioning brake circuits.
If the brake pedal travel has increased,
one of the brake circuits may have
failed.
Avoid driving the vehicle and have it towed to the nearest Volkswa
gen dealer or qualified workshop for re pair.
If brake pedal travel has not increased
and
braking performance remains un
impaired,
proceed carefully to
your
nearest Volkswagen dealer or qualified
workshop to have the braking system inspected and corrected.

- Engine Oil pressure
When
the
ignition
is
turned
on, the oil
pressure warning light comes on for a bulb
check.
It
should
go out
after
the
engine
has
started.
If the
warning light does
not go out or
flashes
while driving
(above
2000
engine rpm a buzzer
will
sound simultaneously),
it
indicates,
that the oil pressure is too low.
Stop the engine immediately, check the
engine
oil
level
and add
oil, if necessary.
If engine oil level is normal, but the
light
continues to flash, do not continue to
operate the vehicle. This could damage
the engine.
Turn
the engine off and contact the nearest Volkswagen dealer for assistance.
The oil pressure warning
light
is not an indicator for low engine oil level. To
check
the oil level, always use dipstick
(see page 99).
Make
it a habit to have the engine oil
level checked
with
every
fuel filling.
