Red Warning Lights (Stop Immediately)
Brake System Alert
This light signals low brake fluid or a failure in the braking system, which can reduce stopping power. Stop the car safely right away and call for roadside help or a mechanic to check and fix it.
Engine Oil Pressure
Low oil pressure or high engine temperature triggers this, risking engine damage. Pull over immediately, turn off the engine, check oil level, and add if needed; do not drive until resolved.
Battery Charge
This indicates a problem with the battery or charging system, like a failing alternator, causing power loss. Stop driving as soon as safe and have it inspected to avoid being stranded.
Seatbelt Reminder
It lights up if the driver or passengers are not buckled up, increasing injury risk in a crash. Fasten all seatbelts before continuing to drive.
Airbag System
A fault in the airbags or seatbelt tensioners means they might not deploy in an accident. Stop and visit a service center immediately for repairs to restore safety.
Coolant Temperature
This warns of overheating or low coolant, which can damage the engine. Stop the vehicle right away, let it cool, check coolant level, and seek professional help if needed.
Power Steering Failure
It signals a severe issue with the power steering, making the wheel hard to turn. Pull over safely and contact a mechanic, as driving could be dangerous.
Bonnet Open
The hood is not securely closed, risking it flying open while driving. Stop immediately, close the bonnet properly, and ensure it’s latched before proceeding.
Door Ajar
A door is not fully shut, which could open unexpectedly or affect cabin safety. Stop the car, close all doors securely, and check for any obstructions.
Transmission Overheat
High temperature in the transmission system can cause gear failure. Stop driving, let it cool, and take to a service center to prevent further damage.
AdBlue Urgent
For models with AdBlue, this means the tank is critically low, potentially stopping the engine. Refill AdBlue immediately or risk the vehicle not starting.
Electronic Steering Lock
A malfunction prevents the steering from unlocking properly. Do not attempt to drive; seek immediate assistance from a service center.
Key System Fault
This indicates a problem with the key or ignition system, possibly preventing startup. Stop the engine if running and contact a mechanic right away.
Handbrake Engaged
The parking brake is on while driving, which can wear out brakes or cause overheating. Release the handbrake fully before continuing.
