What does 'check' mean on a car display?
1 Answers
The 'check' light in a car is the engine indicator light, which is used to display the working condition of the engine. This indicator light shows the operational status of the engine. When you turn the ignition key, the light will illuminate during the vehicle's self-check and then turn off automatically. If it remains lit, it indicates that there is a fault with the engine, requiring inspection and repair. Below are descriptions of various lights on the car dashboard: 1. Door status indicator. This light shows whether the doors are fully closed. If a door is open or not properly closed, the corresponding light will illuminate to alert the driver. It turns off once the door is closed. 2. Parking indicator. This light comes on when the parking brake (handbrake) is engaged. It turns off automatically when the handbrake is released. In some models, this light may also indicate low brake fluid. 3. Battery indicator. This light displays the working status of the battery. It lights up when the ignition is turned on and turns off after the engine starts. If it doesn’t light up or stays on continuously, the generator and circuit should be checked immediately. 4. Fuel indicator. This light warns of low fuel. When it illuminates, it means the fuel is nearly depleted. Typically, the vehicle can still travel about 50 kilometers after this light comes on before running out of fuel.
