1 Answers
Audi A6's brake pad replacement warning light is a symbol with a circle inside brackets. This indicator is used to display the wear condition of the vehicle's brake pads. Introduction to the brake pad warning system: The system involves inserting a warning line into the brake pad. If the brake pad wears excessively, the sensor line will come into contact with the brake disc or get worn out, causing a change in resistance, which generates an electric current. When the signal is detected, a brake pad warning light will appear on the dashboard. The illumination of the brake pad wear indicator indicates severe brake pad wear, requiring immediate inspection and replacement at a service center; it could also indicate low brake fluid level, as insufficient brake fluid can reduce braking force and, in severe cases, lead to brake failure, necessitating immediate replenishment of brake fluid; or it could be due to brake system oil leakage, false alarms, etc., which require thorough investigation. Method to clear the brake pad warning light: First, enter the driver's seat, then without pressing the brake pedal, press the start button once to illuminate all dashboard lights. Then, press and hold the reset button on the top left of the dashboard for about 8 seconds, release it, and press it once again. The illumination of the brake pad wear indicator indicates severe brake pad wear, requiring immediate inspection and replacement.
