Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Spilt operating fluids must be
collected and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment.
Warning lamp for coolant
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the ignition is
switched on. They will switch off after a few seconds.
Lit upPossible causeSolution
Engine coolant temperature is
too low in vehicles with natural
gas engine.
Avoid high engine speeds and heavy engine loads.
FlashesPossible causeSolution
Coolant temperature too high.
Do not drive on!
Stop the vehicle as soon as possible, and when
safe to do so. Switch off the engine, leave the
engine to cool down.
Coolant level too low.
Do not drive on!
After the engine has cooled down, check the
coolant level and refill engine coolant if the level is
too low ⇒ Checking the coolant level and refilling
coolant.
With display --.- in the
instrument cluster:
fault in the engine cooling
system.
Do not drive on!
Seek expert assistance.
In some vehicles, the coolant temperature display may be displayed on the screen of the
portable navigation device (delivered by Volkswagenyf ⇒ Accessories, modifications, repairs and
