If you’ve owned a 90’s-2000’s Audi, you’ll know how common it is to find an LCD screen that is pixelated and difficult to read. As a result, when you have warning symbols pop up on this LCD screen, it is really hard to make out what it’s trying to tell you. It also doesn’t help that even when you can see the warning symbol, that it is still confusing to decipher.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen posts on forums and Audi Facebook Groups with people asking what any particular symbol on their instrument cluster screen is. Although it’s incredibly entertaining to read people’s hilarious interpretations of these symbols are, I wanted to just post this up so that it is easily referenced whenever anyone needs it.
Remember that the symbols that come up red are usually very bad indicators and typically mean you need to stop the car immediately as it is unsafe to drive. Yellow-colored symbols are usually warnings that might be okay for you to drive still, but has something that needs attention and should be addressed as soon as you are able to. I hope this is a useful reference for anyone in need of a quick reference to Audi’s dashboard warning symbols.
