What does it mean when the car's off light is on?

[LeGrace]

The car's off light being on indicates that the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) has been turned off or that there is a malfunction in the ESP system. The main warning lights in a car include: 1. A triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle is the general fault indicator light. 2. A yellow symbol with parentheses, a horizontal line at the bottom, not fully enclosed at the top, and an exclamation mark inside is the tire pressure monitoring warning light. Other warning lights in a car include: 1. A yellow light bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator light. If this light is on, it indicates a fault with an exterior light bulb. 2. A yellow gear with an exclamation mark is the transmission fault indicator light, visible in cars equipped with multitronic transmissions. When this light is on, it indicates an abnormality or fault in the transmission. 3. A yellow sector with an exclamation mark is the windshield wiper fault indicator light. When this light is on, it indicates a fault in the wiper system. 4. A red steering wheel with an exclamation mark on the right is the steering system fault indicator light. If this light is on, it may indicate that the electric/mechanical steering mechanism is not working or there is a fault with the steering column lock, in which case the car should not be driven further.
