Here are the explanations for Dongfeng Xiaokang warning lights: 1. Master warning light: This light serves as an alarm indicator. If multiple information displays on the instrument panel show warning messages, the master warning light will flash or stay lit. When this light is on, the driver can identify the vehicle's issue by checking the alarm messages displayed on the multiple information screens. 2. Battery indicator: This light shows the battery's usage status. It illuminates when the ignition is turned on and the vehicle begins self-checking, then turns off automatically after startup. If the battery indicator remains lit after startup, it indicates a problem with the battery that requires replacement. 3. Airbag indicator: This light displays the working status of the airbag. It automatically lights up for a few seconds when the ignition is turned on and the vehicle begins self-checking, then turns off. If it stays lit, it indicates a fault in the airbag system. 4. Engine fault indicator: This light shows the engine's status. It lights up when the power is turned on and turns off after about 3-4 seconds if the engine is normal. If this light stays on after the engine starts, it indicates an engine fault that requires immediate repair. 5. Tire pressure warning light: This light primarily monitors the tire pressure of the vehicle. It illuminates when a tire is underinflated to enhance vehicle safety and prevent further tire wear.

I've been driving a Dongfeng Xiaokang for several years, and the warning lights mainly fall into several categories. The engine malfunction light is the most common—that yellow engine icon on the dashboard. When it lights up, it could indicate a minor issue with the emission system, such as a dirty oxygen sensor or aged spark plugs. Sometimes, simply tightening the fuel cap can resolve it. The ABS light is the anti-lock braking system indicator; if it's on, it means the brake assist is failing, and you need to be extra cautious about wheel slippage in rainy conditions. The battery light indicates an issue with the charging system, possibly due to a loose alternator belt or a depleted battery. If this light comes on, check the voltage immediately without delay. The oil pressure light is particularly urgent—if it lights up, stop the car right away to check for insufficient oil levels or leaks, as ignoring it could lead to engine damage. The tire pressure monitoring light alerts you to abnormal tire pressure, which can usually be fixed by inflating the tires. These lights are your car's health signals—when they light up, head to a repair shop promptly to diagnose and address the issue with a code reader.
