What are the reasons for different colored warning lights?

Red indicator lights are all fault warning lights, so when you see the car's indicator light turn red, you should pull over as soon as possible. The main red warning lights include: engine oil pressure warning light, engine temperature warning light, charging warning light, and brake fluid level warning light. Once these lights come on, you need to stop immediately or turn off the engine for inspection and should not continue driving. Yellow indicator lights (warning, prevention is better than cure) lack the urgency of red flashing lights, so many car owners do not take yellow indicator lights seriously. However, the appearance of a yellow indicator light means there is a potential safety hazard in your vehicle. For example, if a bulb in the car burns out, the "bulb warning light" will flash continuously to prompt replacement. Other examples include the engine (exhaust system) fault light, oil system fault light, battery and power generation system fault light, etc. When a yellow indicator light comes on, the driver should address the issue as soon as possible. Green indicator lights (safe driving) Green indicator lights are functional indicator lights for the vehicle, such as the turn signals that flash green when turning. In addition, the low beam headlights, front fog lights, and width indicator lights are all very familiar to most car owners. Blue indicator lights (reminder, pay attention) Similar to green indicator lights, blue indicator lights such as the high beam indicator light and the recirculation indicator light generally serve to indicate the working status of various vehicle functions. However, when a blue indicator light comes on, car owners should still be cautious. For example, the high beam headlights turn blue when activated, and you need to be aware of whether the high beams are affecting other vehicles.
