Red traction control sign on in my gtd
« on: 01 October 2013, 21:43 »
On my commute home today the red traction control took over the whole of my head up display. After which this is what appeared on my media system when I selected car

Note the orange like mark in the middle. Anyone know what that is

Not had this one but I believe traction control, abs etc are all linked in with the tyre pressure warning that I had this morning, hope it's not a link we all start to experience  :angry:

Sorry, but is that not a graphic of the fuel tank warning that you only have 20 miles range left ?

I thought that but you know I thought it was kind of linked to the other issue I had but upon reading further it was the car prepping for an emergency stop why I don't know.

Thanks for the input lads

I also thought fuel tank when I saw your pic.  If it's prepping for emergency stop what speed were you at?  That sounds like the city braking function.  Could the radar be experiencing a malfunction?

I was taking off from stationary so no more than 5-8mph there was a guy in a red mk6 gtd who was making me nervous and he was trying to cut in to the lane so it could have been that. I have fired an email off to the dealership. May just take it into them if I feel it needs it

Did it look like the image at 35 seconds into this video?

If so then it's the emergency brake system.

Yeah if someone was about to cut in front of you it's probably working exactly as intended.
