Dashboard Warning Lights
Red Dashboard Lights
If a red dashboard light appears while driving or when you switch your engine on and doesn’t go away, then this indicates a serious problem. Red is the most severe of all the dashboard warning lights and is telling you there is a potential safety issue.
If you see a red warning light appear, you should stop driving immediately and identify the issue. Do not continue driving until you are confident that it is safe to do so. Red warning lights include but are not limited to:
Battery warning
Brake system alert
Hazard warning light
Oil pressure warning
Seat belt reminders
Power steering warning
Doors open reminder
Transmission fault
Airbag fault alert.
Yellow Dashboard Lights
An amber or orange dashboard light is a signal to operate with caution. It isn’t as severe as a red dashboard light but is likely to indicate that something needs to be serviced or repaired in the near future.
If an amber light comes in, you can continue using the vehicle with caution, but the issue should be closely monitored. If an amber dashboard light is ignored, it could develop into a major problem. Amber warning lights include:
Check engine light
Low fuel warning light
ESP fault warning light
Traction control system activated
Low oil level indicator
Change in tyre pressure
Low on coolant
ABS warning light.
Green or Blue Warning Lights
Green dashboard lights are often not there as a warning or sign of an issue but instead to indicate that something is on or operating. They notify you of certain information that you should be aware of while you are driving. Green or blue dashboard lights include:
Parking sensor in operation
ECO mode activated
Headlamps on
Fog lights on
Full beams on
Interior light on
Coolant system too cold
Indicators on
Window wipers on
Stop/start system
