What Do the Icons on the Car Dashboard Mean?
1 Answers
Car dashboard icons represent the following: 1. Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light: This light illuminates when the vehicle starts. If the oil pressure is normal, it will turn off shortly after. If there is an issue with the oil pressure, it will remain lit. 2. Fuel Indicator Light: This alerts the driver to refuel the vehicle. When fuel is low, the light turns yellow, and when fuel is critically low, it turns red. 3. Engine Coolant Temperature Light: This light typically stays on when the car is first started, especially in winter, displaying a blue thermometer icon. It will also illuminate if the coolant temperature is too high or too low. 4. Handbrake Warning Light: This light, featuring a red exclamation mark inside brackets, turns on when the handbrake is engaged. 5. Light Indicators: These include parking lights, hazard lights, high beams, low beams, and front/rear fog lights. 6. Seatbelt Reminder Light: Most modern vehicles are equipped with this feature. If the seatbelt is not fastened, a small red figure with a belt across the chest will appear on the dashboard.
