What Causes the Little Person Icon to Appear on the Dashboard?
1 Answers
The reasons for the little person icon appearing on the dashboard include not wearing a seatbelt, engine coolant temperature warning light, brake fault light, and tire pressure warning light. Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light: When this light comes on, it indicates that the engine temperature is too high. Continuing to drive will cause the coolant temperature to rise further, leading to engine damage. In severe cases, it may even cause engine deformation, potentially resulting in traffic accidents due to engine failure. Brake Fault Light: The braking system is crucial for driving safety. When the brake fault light illuminates, you should immediately stop and inspect the vehicle. First, check if the handbrake is fully released—if it's partially engaged, this light may also come on. If the handbrake is completely released, it indicates a fault in the braking system, and you must take the car to a repair shop immediately for inspection and maintenance. Tire Pressure Warning Light: The tire pressure condition is equally important for driving safety. Both over-inflation and under-inflation pose safety hazards. When the tire pressure warning light comes on, you should immediately stop the car, check the tire conditions, and replace any problematic tires promptly.
