What does it mean when a light comes on the vehicle dashboard?

[VanAurora]

When a light comes on the vehicle dashboard, it indicates three types of indicators: daily operation indicators, warning function indicators, and malfunction indicators. Daily Operation Indicators: These are the most common lights seen during normal driving, including turn signal indicators, light indicators, seat belt indicators, cruise control indicators, parking indicators, etc. They simply serve to notify the driver about the operational status of various vehicle functions. Warning Function Indicators: Examples include fuel level indicators and windshield washer fluid level indicators. These lights warn the driver that corresponding fluids need to be replenished as soon as possible to resolve the issue. Malfunction Indicators: These include engine exhaust system malfunction lights, oil system malfunction lights, battery and charging system malfunction lights, etc. These malfunction indicators rarely illuminate under normal circumstances. However, when they do light up, it signifies that the vehicle has developed a fault or abnormality. Minor issues may affect driving safety, while major ones could potentially damage the vehicle, requiring immediate inspection and repair.
