Car Warning Lights

It's important to know which dashboard warning lights require immediate action. These lights, usually red or yellow, indicate that something is wrong with your vehicle.

•  Brake System: This red light appears as the word BRAKE and indicates that your brake fluid is low or the brake system has a problem. You can always test the brake pressure yourself by simply pressing the brakes. If there is a problem, get your vehicle serviced right away.
   
•  Supplemental Restraint System: If you see this light on, avoid sudden stops. This means that the airbag systems and/or seat belt tensioners are malfunctioning.
  
   
•  Malfunction Indicator Lamp: This is the dreaded check engine light and looks like an engine block. If it stays on, your fuel cap could be loose, or your emissions control system might be faulty. If it's blinking, your engine misfired, so you should stop and let it cool down.
   
•  Anti-lock Brake System: This light appears as a yellow circle with the letters ABS inside, indicating that your anti-lock brakes aren't working.
   
•  Vehicle Stability Assist: This light, which appears as a car with curved tread marks behind it, indicates that the VSA or Hill Start Assist system is malfunctioning.
   
•  Electric Parking Brake System: This light consists of a yellow circle surrounding the letter P and an exclamation point to the right of the circle. It means that your electric parking brake isn't working.
   
•  Electric Power Steering: If you see a yellow light on the steering wheel followed by an exclamation point, it means your power steering isn't working, and steering may be very difficult. Restarting the vehicle can help, but you should get it inspected and fixed regardless.
   
•  Engine Temperature: This light appears as a thermometer submerged in liquid. If it's red, your engine is too hot. If it's blue, your engine is too cold.

On/Off Indicators

Not every light is bad. Some lights, typically green, just mean you've activated a feature.
