Warning symbol

[clhar]

I have a warning symbol in the vehicle status screen showing steering column, righthand wheelarch and maybe a small object near the baulkhead under the bonnet. Any ideas what this is for I cannot find it in owners manual

Worrying, it looks like it is telling you that the left hand drive steering wheel has been stolen.

Press on the left Info button for more details. Looks like electronic power steering failure, which can be expensive if it has to be replaced but I hope it's just a sensor alignment.

The power steering appears to be working fine it switches to sport mode giving more resistance and back to normal again ok?

i have noticed some noise sometimes on full lock but that could be normal behaviour?

I was unable to obtain further info when I pressed the left info button?

You could try touching  the car on the screen to get a warning message.

In the maxidot you should be able to get a Vehicle Status screen which gives you a written text about the warning shown on the headunit.

Like "Low Fuel", "Low washer fluid", "ACC unavailable" etc...

Doesn't it usually show the component (s) in orange on that Vehicle status screen if there's a warning? If my screenwash is low I'm sure it shows the screenwash reservoir in orange on the car rather than white

Hi all thanks for your comments The Skoda dealership said that it's to bring my attention to a warning which was that I need an oil change in 700 miles.

I'm not obsolutly convinced but I will be this so having oil service next month and we will see! I will keep you posted if it isn't cleared by oil change.

I hope you asked the name, job they are employed to do and qualification to do it and answer Customers enquiries.

 

Sounds like a random person answered the phone, or meet you and gave that answer.

In my uneducated opinion that is crap. Why would the steering system be highlighted for an oil change in 700 miles?

I was thinking power steering fluid alert, but your car has the electro-mechanical power steering doesn't it? So, no fluid.

mine goes that colour when a door is open. back to normal when its closed though. also any major errors get flagged as an orange glow rather than what you have got. interesting none the less.

I believe it is likely to be for the 'Service Due' message.  I have had this many times on my car when it is due a service, although I have the Columbus system and that tells you the issue.  The steering wheel DOES show like when the service is due

 

There is two buttons on the left of the screen which you have cut off the picture.  One will be the 'Start-Stop' status, and i think the other should be the message regarding the 'fault' (if memory serves).

 

Other method is using display between your speedo and rev counter, go to 'Vehicle' and that will tell you whats up
