What Does It Mean When the Driver Warning Light Is On?

If the handbrake is fully released but the brake system warning light remains on, it usually indicates insufficient brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. Insufficient brake fluid or a low fluid level may increase braking distance and require a longer pedal travel to achieve greater braking effect. Here are the solutions: 1. Carefully park the vehicle on the roadside, check the brake fluid, and add the manufacturer-recommended brake fluid to the MAX mark. 2. Check whether the brake operation is normal and determine if driving is safe. If the brake operation is normal and driving is safe, drive carefully and go to the nearest after-sales service center for inspection and repair. 3. If there is leakage, or the warning light remains on without turning off, or the brakes do not function properly, tow the vehicle to the nearest authorized after-sales service center for inspection and repair.
A few days ago when I was driving to work, a warning light suddenly came on - it was a flashing yellow engine icon dashboard indicator, meaning your vehicle's onboard computer has detected an abnormal system malfunction. This could stem from minor issues like sensor false readings or wiring connection problems, but may also indicate mechanical hazards such as aging spark plugs or fuel injection system failures. With experience, I usually first check basic items like tire pressure and oil levels before continuing to drive. However, if the light turns red or is accompanied by abnormal noises, I immediately slow down and pull over to a safe location to contact repairs. Ignoring warning lights can easily damage the catalytic converter or even the engine, so I recommend car owners always keep an OBD2 scanner handy or directly schedule professional diagnostics.
