Recommended action

Secure the vehicle against movement and follow the instruction to find another parking place with a gentler gradient. Do not decide from colour or one photograph alone.

Key indication

Only the specified message and model edition. Steady red P during ordinary vehicle securing is an operating state, not this flashing warning.

Tyre pressure monitoring fault

Yellow / amber · Warning · Flashing, then steady

Meaning

Only Enyaq iV 5A, 11.2020 edition. The accompanying message determines the state.

Enyaq – steering lock not released

Yellow / amber · Warning · Flashing

Meaning

A flashing amber symbol with a request to move the wheel means the steering lock has not released. It is not a general power-steering fault.

Recommended action

Move the steering wheel alternately in both directions. If the steering does not unlock, stop the vehicle and obtain professional assistance.

Key indication

Only Enyaq iV 5A, 11.2020 edition. Distinguish it from the amber lock fault for which cautious continued driving is permitted.
