The many warning lights on a car’s dashboard are your car’s way of letting you know when something needs your attention. Some cars have a multitude of symbols that can be difficult to remember. Here is a list of several important lights you should always know:
Brake System – This light can indicate one of several different issues. The parking brake may be on, the braking fluid may be low, or there may be a problem with the anti-lock braking system.
Oil Pressure Warning – When lit, this can indicate a loss of oil pressure. Immediately check the oil level. You may also need to change the fluids.
Check Engine – This light tells you that the engine has set a Diagnostic Trouble Code. Always have a professional diagnosis done as soon as possible.
