This document describes the meaning of the various indicator lights on the dashboard of Audi cars.
Published by Andinos (www.andinos.com.pe), this recurring-faults manual explains the dashboard indicator lights (testigos) on Audi vehicles from 2010 to the present, covering the A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, Q3, Q5, Q7 and TT. Each section pairs a light or message with what it means, the most common causes, and the actions to take.
Covered indicators include the brake system and ABS, the electronic parking brake, coolant level and excess temperature, engine oil pressure, and the alternator/battery. The text gives practical checks such as reading the brake fluid between the reservoir's maximum and minimum marks, letting the engine cool before checking coolant, using a scanner, and calling a tow truck when a fault is severe. This manual is written in Spanish.

Stop the engine and stop driving before checking the fault.
Press the brake pedal and then press the parking button.
There is a fault in the alternator or in the vehicle's electrical system, not necessarily the battery.
