Dashboard warning lights are your car's way of keeping you informed about potential issues that could impact your safety. A red warning light, for instance, signals a serious problem or damage to a critical component that needs immediate attention. Stay safe and proactive by addressing these alerts right away!

Engine Temperature Warning Light

• Why It's On: Your engine is running too hot and needs immediate attention.
• What to Do: Pull over safely and turn off your engine. Let it cool down to avoid costly damage. Act fast to protect your investment and ensure your car's longevity!
• Why Your Engine Might Overheat:
  • Low Coolant Level: Your car's cooling system relies on adequate coolant to keep things running smoothly. When level drop, overheating becomes a risk.
  • Cooling System Leaks: A loose radiator cap or leaks in the cooling system can cause your coolant to escape, leading to dangerous overheating.
  • Thermostat Issues: The thermostat regulates your engine's temperature. If it malfunctions, it can give false readings and, if ignored, may result in severe engine damage.

Handbrake Warning Light

• Why It's On: This light indicates either the handbrake isn't fully released or your brake fluid level is running low.
• What to Do: If you see this light flashing or flickering, it's crucial to get your car checked by a professional as soon as possible. Ensure your brakes are in top condition to keep your driving safe and smooth!

Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light

• Why It's On: This light signals that your engine oil level is critically low or there's an issue with the oil pressure system.
• What to Do: Immediately pull over to a safe spot and turn off your engine. Reach out to your mechanic right away to avoid severe damage and keep your engine running smoothly. Protect your car's heart with prompt action!

Paying attention to these signals can save you from expensive repairs and prevent severe damage to your vehicle. Plus, it keeps you and your passengers safe on every drive. Act quickly to protect your investment and enjoy peace of mind on the road!
