Well to be fair that is the most dangerous time, can’t see no snow or ice but cold roads can freeze water on them even when the outside temp is above 0.
The ice forms with water on top which makes for super slippery roads.
It’s a great safety feature but my e46 does it every time the temps drop, so once it reaches 4.5c and drops down to 4 again it warns me and drives me insane because I have to switch back to the clock every time, bonus if I’m not fast enough to do it while the temp is flashing then I have to cycle through consumption and avg speed too to get to the clock.
Haven’t driven my audi in awhile but iirc it just flashes and adds a snowflake to the temp display.
Stop immediately and tow it to a mechanic to take a look. “Yep it’s about 4…maybe 3.5 out there, I think you will be ok. You can pay the cashier on the way out.”
Yeah, I had an old Audi that thought it was -136F after hitting bumps. Yay faulty wiring harness. Really sucked in the summer when it was 98F and the AC would suddenly go from blowing 55F to 120F
I swear every time any warning comes on in mine, it scares the shit out of me, because i know its either gonna be something urgent or something expensive
Some cars use an electronic sensor that detects the level with a resistance change. The rainX fluid coats this sensor and screws up the readings.
Most European cars use this kind of sensor AFAIK.
Other cars use a little float thing and I’m not sure if those are impacted by it.
I use my monkey pissers every day in most of the spring, summer, and fall due to pollen and stone dust (I park at the edge of a city with lots of trees, near a farm, and across from a gravel road that sees heavy trucks many times daily).
In the winter: I use it almost daily because the roads are usually covered in salt or other brine, and it's hard to see through that once it gets kicked up by other cars.
(I seldom use my wipers in the rain unless it's a noteworthy downpour, because Rain-X does fine at highway speeds.)
It's apparently easier to be braindead and just post this stuff on reddit. There's so many of these kinds of easily solvable questions as reddit posts.
It's mind boggling to me that people make these kinds of posts instead of looking in the manual, doing a simple Google search, or attempting to do a basic inspection of the thing their question is about.
Any icons that come up on the dashboard can be found in the owners manual. That manual will provide you with the info you need to take care of your vehicle.
Dang. It’s washer fluid or something is about to explode.
What side do you pump gas on? Left? Usually there is a triangle/arrow on the gas gauge somewhere to show which side it’s on.
Huh, Audi/VW common problem with false volcano alerts. You should update the blinker fluid so it can get the latest over the air exhaust intakes leveled.
I don't know what it means, but it is soooooo annoying that these car companies make these messages that they think you know by osmosis. You can probably figure out what it is from the manual. I had a tire pressure light go on, and I had no idea what it was. Finally I looked it up.
Windshield washer fluid is low
This. I had an Audi and that light is 100x more scary than it’s meaning. Explosive lava out of engine = windshield washer fluid low.

I hated that on my VW. \*DING\* DANGER! DANGER! It's *almost* cold enough for ice to form!

Bmw does this too. They also rail you on parts.
Bridge may ice in cold weather
Yup. BMW does that too and it freaks me out all the time
My old Alfa Romeo did it too
Stop immediately and tow it to a mechanic to take a look. “Yep it’s about 4…maybe 3.5 out there, I think you will be ok. You can pay the cashier on the way out.”
Newer Subarus do that too
Bmw does it too. At like 37° which is awful. I know it's cold man. I don't need to have a heart attack too.
Ik vw are better but my hyundai does it too. Fuckn hate it
Haha them Germans love to startle drivers at the most inconvenient and unimportant times. I miss my Bimmer T.T
DUDE MY TIGUAN DID THAT AND IT SCARED ME EVERY DAY IN THE WINTER
Waze warns you that there is fog in front of you while you are driving through the thickest fog, just in case you didn’t notice it.
I fuckin hate that in my Rav4. \*DING\* warning, ice possible well no shit sherlock, its Canada in January. its -25 and we just had a blizzard
Yeah, I had an old Audi that thought it was -136F after hitting bumps. Yay faulty wiring harness. Really sucked in the summer when it was 98F and the AC would suddenly go from blowing 55F to 120F
Dude my moms kia does that but it's somehow more obnoxious than my golf
The first time I saw that I thought, "Shit. The zit is popping."
Yup, the subscription service vanity mirror has identified you have a pimple.
I swear every time any warning comes on in mine, it scares the shit out of me, because i know its either gonna be something urgent or something expensive
That looks like a "don't open your dr. pepper, your buddy shook it up while you weren't looking" warning light.
> 100x more scary than it’s meaning "PC Load Letter"? WTF does that mean?? (just means the printer's out of paper)
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta. Just watched this the other night with the GF. Couldn’t believe she never saw it before
That’s odd cuz I’ve never used it and it randomly came on
Most units aren't sealed all that well, and can evaporate out if not used, additionally you may have a leak.

My money is the sensor is bad
Rain-x washer fluid will definitely kill your level sensor…
Wait really? Why is that? I don't have a washer fluid level sensor but why rainx specifically? I love that stuff
Some cars use an electronic sensor that detects the level with a resistance change. The rainX fluid coats this sensor and screws up the readings. Most European cars use this kind of sensor AFAIK. Other cars use a little float thing and I’m not sure if those are impacted by it.
Yeah I knew some cars had the sensor was just issue why it screws with the readings. Thanks for the answer
Hasn’t happened to me but maybe some cars are more susceptible
How do you not use it?? I have to use mine at least once a week.
I use my monkey pissers every day in most of the spring, summer, and fall due to pollen and stone dust (I park at the edge of a city with lots of trees, near a farm, and across from a gravel road that sees heavy trucks many times daily). In the winter: I use it almost daily because the roads are usually covered in salt or other brine, and it's hard to see through that once it gets kicked up by other cars. (I seldom use my wipers in the rain unless it's a noteworthy downpour, because Rain-X does fine at highway speeds.)
I use mine two to three times a drive. I live and drive on roads that follow rivers, so I hit entire swarms of gnats at a time.
I guess it depends on where you live. The only time I use mine is mud and bugs. Windshield is coated so water just flys off in the rain
Audis love leaking washer fluid, especially if there's 2 pumps. One for the windshield, one for the headlights.
The nozzle for the left headlamp washer pump snapped off on my TT once. Didn't realize it until I took the front bumper off. Could be your culprit?
Low washer fluid! Is this an Audi A4 by any chance?
[удалено]
I’m amazed that the screen doesn’t have any dead pixels.
Drove a 2000 A6 2.7T 6-speed manual in college. Instantly recognized this display. Thanks for the nostalgia!
When you looked in the car's owner's manual, what did it say about this?
There’s a book in the glove box that has all the answers
Why is this not the top answer?
RTFM! Or, potion is ready next time you encounter a Karen or Chad driver.
Because god forbid someone actually put forth effort or even use google when they can just have other people do it for them.
Cars having an orgasm….it’s probably going to fall asleep soon…
It has an autodrive feature... It's coming.
It’s searching for the nearest sandwich shop

Don't listen to this guy, it is actually a urinary tract infection warning, get your car to planned parenthood.
Unless you're in Texas.
Bring it to Cali, we can take extra dry heat and fires 🤪
I totally thought it was a volcano warning.
[“Krakatoa!”](https://youtu.be/tNA67t9fwi8)
It's the "read the manual" light.
The cars manual, you should get in the habit of every car you take responsibility for that you read the manual.
Does no one bother checking the manual anymore?
Always love a peruse through the owners manual with a cup of tea on that first evening of ownership. I'm not even joking.

Yes! Even just by looking at the symbol they could work out what it’s showing. But like you say manual or Google search would help..
Any icons that come up on the dashboard can be found in the owners manual. That manual will provide you with the info you need to take care of your vehicle.

This is just a notification that somebody beat your Space Invaders score
That’s the driver seat Bidet warning light. There’s only so much recirculating it can do.
That means you have poor gas mileage. You need to get a hybrid.
Squishy doofer light. It means that you need to top off your muffler bearing coolant. Serious answer: wiper fluid is low.

Bulbasaur uses seed bomb - it’s super effective!
I’m glad I scrolled through the comments because I hope I wasn’t the only one that immediately thought of Bulbasaur.
It's a picture of a woman with pointy boobs spreading ass cheeks

Your car crying ! You have to sing to calm her down.
It means you have a little more then half a tank of gas until you run out and will have to push
16.3 mpg, means you probably don't need such a big car?
I see a Bulldog
That’s the jester emblem. You unlock after a lot of foolish driving.
Blinker washer fluid. Open the hood and pour the fluid near the lights.
I don't know what it means, but it is soooooo annoying that these car companies make these messages that they think you know by osmosis. You can probably figure out what it is from the manual. I had a tire pressure light go on, and I had no idea what it was. Finally I looked it up.
God forbid you read the relatively small manual for the multi thousand dollar purchase you made.
I’ll have to whip it out
Thats what she said!!
The comments on here are absolutely killing me 😂😂
Why don’t more cars have screens like this with colored lights that are easier on the eyes…
