Everything You Need To Know About Car Warning Lights

It’s important to pay attention to car dashboard warning lights because they can help you avoid a car breakdown, as well as potentially saving you from an expensive repair bill and keeping you safe on the road.

There are two types of warning lights — red and orange. A red warning light suggests that you should act quickly because the problem is serious, such as an overheating engine, low engine oil pressure or a braking system problem. Book an inspection immediately in this case.

An orange warning light means that the engine management system — the computer that runs the engine — has detected a fault. You may continue to drive, but you should get your car inspected.
