Quick Navigation
Red Warning Lights (Stop Immediately)
These lights signal urgent issues that require you to pull over safely and address the problem right away to avoid serious harm.
Engine Oil Pressure
Low oil pressure can cause engine damage from lack of lubrication. It often results from low oil levels or a faulty pump. Stop driving, check the oil, and add more if needed or call for help.
Brake System Alert
This indicates low brake fluid or a failure in the braking system, risking loss of stopping power. Possible causes include leaks or worn pads. Park immediately and seek a mechanic’s assistance.
Engine Temperature Warning
The engine is overheating, which might damage internal parts. Causes include low coolant or a faulty thermostat. Pull over, let it cool, and check coolant levels before proceeding.
Battery Charge Warning
The battery isn’t charging properly, potentially leading to a sudden stall. It could be due to a failing alternator or loose connections. Stop and inspect or get professional help.
Transmission Temperature
High heat in the transmission can cause slippage or failure. Often from heavy loads or low fluid. Stop to cool down and check transmission fluid.youtube
Power Steering Failure
Loss of power steering makes turning difficult and unsafe. Caused by low fluid or belt issues. Pull over and avoid driving until fixed.
Airbag System Fault
Airbags may not deploy in a crash, increasing injury risk. Triggered by sensor or wiring problems. Stop and have it inspected at a service center.
Seatbelt Reminder (Critical)
Unbuckled seatbelts pose a high risk during collisions. It activates if belts aren’t fastened. Stop and ensure everyone buckles up.
Low Brake Fluid
