WARNING ● If the brake warning lamp lights up to- gether with the ABS indicator lamp , the control function of the ABS may have failed. This can cause the rear wheels to lock when you brake. Furthermore, this may cause you to lose control of the vehicle and can result in accidents with serious or fatal injuries.
In this case, drive at reduced speed to the near- est qualified workshop to have the brake system checked. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership.
