Default What do these symbols on my dash mean?

So i pressed the "Check" button on my 2007 Q7 V6 and these symbols came up, the oil was a bit low so i topped it up but the lights still on and the coolant level is at max. Cars not over heating or anything, i do have a message saying service required so maybe thats related?

actually i think its just the oil level sensor and the coolant is fine, OR it might even be the hood latch sensor? Can someone confirm this? and does anyone know where the hood latch sensor is?

I believe it's just showing you the systems that it's checking as it's scrolling through each one. If you have an actual fault then you'll get that at the end of the cycle. I'm not sure about the last part though as I've never seen it catch any faults.

Yes it is just " Making it's list and checking it twice." Not to worry :-).

If there is nothing showing when you are driving then all is fine.

The test function only works when stationary.
