Audi A4 Indicator vs Warning Lights
The two sets of lights that appear on your dashboard are indicator lights and warning lights. Indicator lights are letting you know of a system that has turned on, or a feature that you've activated. Warning lights, usually red in color, flash to get your attention. They indicate that there is a problem or issue with a specific vehicle component and that you may want to pull the vehicle over and contact your local Audi dealer for assistance and service.

- Electronic Stabilization Control: When your vehicle experiences wheel slip, the ESC system will activate to provide enough brake pressure to get your wheel to stop slipping and help your vehicle regain traction and stability. Once the vehicle is stable, the system will disengage and the light will turn off.
- Brake Wear: This light is letting you know that your brake pads are worn and that you should seek out a replacement soon.
- Washer Fluid Level: If you see this light appear, it simply means that your vehicle is low on windshield-wiper fluid and that you should add some to the reservoir. Once you do, the light will turn off.
- Bulb Failure Indicator: When you see this light come on, it means that you have a light bulb out in your vehicle.
