This {symbol|image} will illuminate on the dashboard {to indicate|to point} {one of|certainly one of|considered one of|one among|one in all|one in every of} two {things|issues}. 1. The handbrake is {applied|utilized}, please {release|launch} the handbrake to {continue|proceed}. 2. If {the light|the sunshine} {remains|stays} illuminated with the handbrake {released|launched}, this indicated a fault {in the|within the} {car|automobile|automotive} brakes system. If driving when the {symbol|image} illuminates and the handbrake is {fully|absolutely|totally} {released|launched}, pull over and {stop|cease} the {car|automobile|automotive} {immediately|instantly} and {seek|search} {assistance|help}.

If {the light|the sunshine} {remains|stays} on or illuminates {whilst|while} driving, it suggests {one or more|a number of} tyres have {insufficient|inadequate} air {pressure|strain|stress}. Stop the {vehicle|automobile|car} {immediately|instantly} to {check|examine|test|verify} tyres. See tyre {legal|authorized} {limit|restrict} for {information|data|info} on having too {high|excessive} and too low {pressure|strain|stress} in tyres. {If you are|If you're|In case you are} experiencing {problems|issues}, see tyre {pressure|strain|stress} warning {light|gentle|mild} {keeps|retains} coming on.

After correcting pressures or {changing|altering} tyres / wheels, {you may|chances are you'll|it's possible you'll|you could|you might} {need to|have to|must} reset the tyre {pressure|strain|stress} monitor system (TPMS). Audi A3 adaptive lights {allow you to|assist you to|can help you|help you|let you|mean you can|permit you to|will let you} see {further|additional} at {night|evening|night time}, in poor lighting {conditions|circumstances|situations} and {around|round} bends by following the {direction|course|path|route} of {travel|journey}. Light illuminates to {suggest|counsel|recommend} a fault. Non-{urgent|pressing} as {normal|regular} lights will {continue|proceed} to illuminate. Audi A3 headlight {range|vary} {control|management} {automatically|mechanically|robotically|routinely} adjusts the angle of the lights {to provide|to offer|to supply} {the best possible|the absolute best|the very best} {range|vary} of lighting {based|based mostly|primarily based} on the {car|automobile|automotive} load. The headlight {range|vary} {control|management} dashboard warning {light|gentle|mild} suggests a fault {within the|inside the|throughout the} system {only|solely} and {normal|regular} {night|evening|night time} driving lights will work as {usual|common|normal|ordinary|regular|standard|traditional|typical}. Audi A3 is fitted with a system that detects {light|gentle|mild} {levels|ranges} and rain and {automatically|mechanically|robotically|routinely} activated the windscreen wipers or headlights {depending|relying} on what has been detected. If this {symbol|image} {remains|stays} illuminated it suggests a fault {in the|within the} system. Manual activation of windscreen wipers and headlights is required {until|till} system is repaired.
