Important Dashboard Warning Lights Explained

A walkthrough of some of the most common and important dashboard warning lights. Understand the meaning of dashboard lights, and which ones are crucial.

In some cases, the car's dashboard lights may just be reminding you to schedule service or check some system in your car before something more serious occurs. In other cases, they serve as an important warning to act as soon as possible.

Here are some of the warning lights we will go through:

-Brake warning light
-Fuel indicator light
-Oil warning light
-Tire pressure warning light
-Anti-lock brake warning light
-Battery warning lights
-Temperature warning light
-Check engine light
-Cruise control light
-Traction control light
-Seat belt warning light

All of these dashboard lights are commonly displayed on the car's dashboard, and it's important that you know them. We will go through some of the less common lights in another video.

If a dashboard warning light that you don't understand suddenly lights up on your car's dashboard, make sure to understand what it means! It could be a major issue, or just a minor one. But, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Hello!!!!please make animated videos of how to drive a manual car for starters like me. Eg. from sparking to moving, how not to stall, hill gear changing, how to keep driving slower in traffic etc.
Some of us find the animated videos very important for learning, for example your animated video of how to parallel park is a treasure, thank you.

It doesnt need explained the car companies need to reprogram them not to do this. The other warning lights can be informed of whats wrong and not come on to confuse you and your car. They can be programed to show you wants wrong what part number you need and how to repair it if you choisd. No code readers needed. If it codes it can tell you exactly whats wrong.
