This is my biggest bugbear with VW (and related) cars. The "it's below 4Âșc" message has the same warning tone as messages about tyre pressures, engine malfunctions, etc.

Mine is the "grab your steering wheel" alert when the lane-keep assist does too good of a job staying in the lane and it doesn't receive any steering input from me for too long of a period.

I do have to say that after test-driving a number of different vehicles before buying my Taos last summer, that I appreciate that VW continues to use real buttons for most inputs - although I do understand a number of their other vehicles use capacitive touch buttons.

I'd be more worried that you already know how an engine malfunction alert sounds like!
Oh I'm very familiar, I've not had a good experience with my Skoda Karoq!
