The meanings of the various icons on the car display are as follows: 1. Daily indicator lights, including turn signal lights, light indicator lights, seat belt indicator lights, cruise control indicator lights, parking indicator lights, etc. They serve to indicate the working status of various vehicle functions; 2. Fault indicator lights, common ones include the engine fault light, battery fault light, and airbag fault light. Their purpose is to inform the driver of the current faulty parts of the car; 3. Warning indicator lights, common ones include the fuel indicator light, oil indicator light, and coolant indicator light. Their function is to inform the driver of the vehicle's condition, indicating the storage levels of various fluids. When the fluid levels are critically low, the vehicle will display warning indicator lights on the dashboard.

I've been driving for over ten years, checking those icons on the dashboard every day, and some of them can really cause anxiety. For example, when that red engine-shaped light comes on, it means there might be a serious issue with the engine, like a sensor malfunction or exhaust system error. The yellow oil light, resembling a small oil can, indicates insufficient oil or low oil pressure—failing to address it promptly can lead to severe engine damage. Then there's the thermometer icon; if it lights up, it means the engine is overheating, and you must stop immediately to let it cool down—don't take the risk. The battery light signals a charging system fault, possibly a broken alternator; the ABS light is an anti-lock braking system alert, so be cautious when driving on slippery roads; the seatbelt icon is a simple reminder to buckle up; the airbag light, which looks like a person in front of a seat, indicates a failure in the protection system—safety first, get it fixed right away. These icons are usually hidden in the manual, but knowing a bit about them can save you a lot of money—don’t wait until your car breaks down to regret it.
