RS Tells You When a Brakelight Isn't Working!

[Jake02]

Got into the car on Thursday, started it up and a lightbulb symbol appears on the rev dial (which I know to be the lights aren't functioning properly) and consequently checked them, of which results were found (left brake broken). Impressed me immensely. Then turned it on on Friday and a message now comes up 'left rear brake light not working!' Luckily, the car is only 498km off it's 30,000km service, so it'll be replaced them (and that's only a week or so away).

Coming from a Jap car, I never knew this sort of convenience existed!

Mazda had that feature in the 929 in the mid 1980s. It was a graphical display on the dash board that worked similar to the door open display on Skodas.

Well you learn something new every day

I had a 1990 Mazda 626 eclipse that was fantastic. It told you whenever there was a light globe out...and I loved those wanky oscillating air vents

I searched long and hard on the new car market and found that even some new cars didn't have the features and comfort that my old Mazda did...then I found the Skoda

also tells you about other lights - I've a read number plate light that needs replacement/fixing

My Elegance also tells me about the trailer lights - that's some pretty cool 5h1t right there


Although, I understand that this is common through out the VAG range.

Our 1978 Toyota Corona import had an "OK monitor" that would tell you when your lights were out. It had a dot matrix display that said "brake lights" or "rear light" (the number plate) etc.

Also told you a few other things but I can't quite remember what they were.

Mine's been saying "Check front right indicator" and "Check front left dipped beam" for weeks, now.

Waiting on a new body control module from Skoda. Should be arriving tomorrow, actually. :S

My first car was a '96 626 with the same swiveling airvents! Loved them

One day they broke and were permenently on swivel. Didn't care haha.

'92 Nissan Cefiro did the same thing!

[Sword_Dude]

'79 Honda accord did it too also said which doors were open on a little graphic on the dash.
