What does it mean when the STOP light on the dashboard is on?

[LeColton]

STOP indicator light is a mandatory parking alarm light, which means that when one of the alarm lights on the dashboard, such as the engine oil pressure alarm light, the brake fluid level too low alarm light, or the coolant temperature too high alarm light, is illuminated, the STOP alarm light will also light up simultaneously. If this occurs, the engine must be stopped immediately. Below are relevant details: 1. The STOP light is not a standalone light. The dashboard also includes indicators for coolant temperature, oil pressure, air pressure, engine, and cabin. This warning light is connected to the "engine oil pressure," "low brake fluid level," "coolant temperature gauge," and "electronic brake force distribution system failure" warning lights. If the engine fault light comes on, you must stop the vehicle immediately and not continue driving, as doing so may lead to a traffic accident. 2. If the engine oil pressure is too low, it can cause poor lubrication, increased cylinder wear, and in severe cases, engine bearing seizure, leading to abnormal engine operation. If the engine oil pressure is too high, it can accelerate premature wear of the oil pump and result in excessive oil consumption. 3. Excessively high coolant temperature is detrimental to reducing fuel consumption and minimizing component wear. When the temperature exceeds 90°C, the engine power decreases accordingly. Overheating can also cause a series of issues such as detonation, cylinder scoring, cylinder head gasket damage, and component deformation. Brake system failure may lead to sudden brake failure, brake pulling, or brake shudder. If the brake system malfunctions, you must stop the vehicle immediately and not continue driving, as doing so may result in a traffic accident.
