What do the symbol lights on the Reiz dashboard indicate?
2 Answers
Symbol lights on the Reiz dashboard include the oil pressure warning light and coolant temperature warning light. Details are as follows: Oil Pressure Warning Light: This symbol indicates whether the oil pressure is normal. If it illuminates while driving, the vehicle should not continue to operate. Continuing to drive may cause severe damage to the engine. Coolant Temperature Warning Light: This light activates when the coolant temperature is either too high or too low. It appears blue when the temperature is too low and red when it's too high. Some vehicles display coolant temperature via a gauge on the dashboard, where the needle moves up or down according to the temperature. Seatbelt Reminder Light: Most modern vehicles are equipped with a seatbelt reminder light. It features a red humanoid figure with a diagonal band across its chest, resembling a small figure holding a sword. The light turns off when the seatbelt is fastened or when exiting the vehicle.
I've driven the Toyota Mark X several times, and dashboard warning lights coming on is quite common—it's like the car talking to you, signaling there's an issue. The specific action depends on which light appears: if it's the engine-shaped light, it could indicate excessive emissions or an oxygen sensor problem; an oil can light means oil pressure might be low, requiring immediate parking for inspection; a flashing battery light suggests potential alternator failure. Ignoring these may lead to roadside breakdowns or even damage critical components. Make it a habit to check the dashboard before driving—don't skip this step. If a light illuminates, prioritize finding a safe spot to stop, then refer to the owner's manual or contact a dealership for advice.
