What does it mean when the off light on the car is on?
1 Answers
The off light on the car indicates that the vehicle's electronic stability program (ESP) is either turned off or malfunctioning. The off light primarily refers to the ESP off indicator. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which is an active safety feature designed to prevent the risk of skidding and loss of vehicle control. Below is additional information: 1. Engine Warning Light: The engine warning light displays the working status of the engine, typically in yellow. When you turn the key and the vehicle performs a self-check, this light will illuminate. After starting the vehicle, the light should turn off automatically. If the light remains on after starting the car, it may indicate a fault in the engine system. 2. Oil Pressure Warning Light: Proper oil pressure is essential to ensure oil is delivered to all the engine's friction components. Both excessively high and low oil pressure can affect the engine's normal operation and potentially damage engine parts. If the warning light persists after adding oil, do not start the vehicle and contact roadside assistance as soon as possible. 3. Battery Warning Light: If this light stays on after starting the car, it serves as a reminder that there may be an issue with the battery, indicating it's time for inspection or replacement. When this warning light is on, avoid driving long distances, as the engine may drain the battery's charge, leaving the vehicle unable to operate once the battery is depleted.
