Battery/Charging Alert:
If you're seeing this alert, it may
mean that something is wrong with the battery or charging system. You might
need to replace your battery or even simply make sure your connections are
tight.
Oil Change Reminder:
If it has been a few months since your
last oil change, then you may see this alert as a reminder to get your vehicle
regularly serviced and to have your oil and oil filter changed.
Low Oil Pressure:
This is more urgent than an oil change
reminder. It indicates low oil pressure, which could contribute to lasting
engine damage or total engine failure if the parts in the engine overheat or
aren't properly lubricated.
Brake System:
Your brake system is crucial to your safety on
the road. This warning light indicates an issue with your brakes, brake pad,
brake fluid, pistons, or some other aspect of the braking system.
Coolant Temperature Warning:
This could be an issue with
anything from the radiator cap to coolant level or leaks. In any case, it's
crucial to have your engine maintained at a proper temperature to prevent
overheating.
ABS Light:
Have a professional diagnose the code that caused
this light to come on, which indicates an issue with the Anti-lock Braking
System.
Gas Cap:
You left the gas cap off of the vehicle, most likely
while refueling. This isn't an urgent matter; simply pull over when you can and
replace it.
Door Ajar:
One of the doors or the trunk of your vehicle was
not properly shut.
Washer Fluid Reminder:
The windshield wiper
fluid reservoir is either low or empty and should be refilled soon.
Adaptive Cruise Control:
A relatively new
safety technology, Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts
driving speed in order to maintain a set following distance between vehicles.
The indicator light will appear when the driver turns it on. At first, it will
be a white light, indicating that the speed control is not activated. When the
light turns green, it means that speed control is activated.
Engine Coolant Temperature:
The engine coolant temperature light looks similar to a
thermometer being dipped into water. It indicates that the coolant temperature
is far too high. If this light turns on, stop the car and turn off the engine
immediately. You can then wait for the engine coolant temperature to drop or
call for a tow truck.
Lane Keeping Aid:
Another new safety technology, the Lane Keeping Aid indicator
light looks similar to a car driving between road lines. It turns on when the
system is activated.
Stability Control:
Stability Control optimizes handling and traction for the
best ride possible. There are two indicator lights for this system. The first
appears similar to a swerving car and lights up when the indicator is active
and upon turning on the car. If the light does not turn off, then the vehicle
should be inspected immediately.
The second indicator light appears when the Stability
Control system is turned off. It looks similar to the active indicator light,
but has the word "off" below the tire tracks.
