Have you seen a dash light appear and wondered what it meant?
It can be a bit of a shock, but don’t worry – we’re here to help you understand what those warning lights mean and what you should do about them...
Usually, your dash warning lights are broken down into the following colour categories: red, amber, green, white, and blue.
* RED means you should pull over as soon as it’s safe to do so.
* AMBER is less severe but still indicates a problem that needs attention.
* GREEN, WHITE & BLUE warnings are for information only and don’t require action.
Examples Could Be:
* Red Engine Temperature Warning Light: Pull over as soon as possible. This light, often resembling a thermometer submerged in liquid, indicates that your engine is overheating. This is a serious issue that can cause significant and often irreparable damage to your engine.
* Amber Tyre Pressure Light: No immediate danger, but check the tyre pressure at the next available service station.
* White Outside Temperature Light: Information only. It indicates it is cold outside, so be cautious on the roads.
