What does the blue light on the Honda Vezel's temperature gauge indicate?

Blue light indicates that the vehicle's coolant temperature is low, which may affect driving safety. At this time, simply drive gently until the temperature rises and the blue light will turn off. Below are relevant details: 1. Introduction: The Vezel's space layout adopts the "SMART CROSS PACKAGE" design concept, seamlessly blending the personal privacy space of a coupe with the practicality of an MPV. Benefiting from Honda's unique "MM" philosophy—Maximizing cabin space for passengers (MAX) while Minimizing mechanical space (MIN)—the Vezel excels in interior spaciousness. 2. Configuration: With a 2610mm wheelbase, the Vezel ensures ample legroom comparable to higher-class SUVs. Its optimized A-pillar width/angle and Honda's latest internally operable panoramic sunroof create an airy cabin experience. The rear seats feature 6:4 split-folding/tilt-flip functionality, enabling versatile space combinations for daily needs. With rear seats folded, it can accommodate two 27-inch bicycles (front wheels removed). The low-platform trunk with a 1180mm wide opening facilitates loading while delivering premium spaciousness.

I've been driving the Honda Vezel for a while, and the blue temperature gauge light usually indicates low engine coolant temperature, which is quite common. Typically, the blue light will stay on for a few seconds to minutes when starting a cold engine, and it will turn off as the engine gradually warms up. However, if the blue light remains on continuously, there might be an issue—such as the thermostat sticking in the open position, causing the coolant to continuously circulate in a large loop and preventing the temperature from rising; or a faulty temperature sensor sending incorrect signals; or even the cooling fan being overly active, running constantly and not allowing the temperature to rise normally. These minor issues shouldn’t be ignored, as prolonged low coolant temperature can affect fuel efficiency and increase engine wear. I recommend observing whether the blue light disappears after driving for a few minutes. If it doesn’t change, take it to a reliable repair shop to check the thermostat and sensor—replacing these parts is usually inexpensive and straightforward. Also, avoid excessively long warm-up times during daily driving to reduce engine strain.

As a car enthusiast, I've studied the Honda Vezel's dashboard, where the blue coolant temperature light indicates the coolant is too cold. It's normal for the blue light to illuminate when starting the car, showing the engine is warming up. However, if the blue light stays on continuously, troubleshooting is needed. Possible causes include a faulty thermostat that fails to close, preventing rapid temperature rise; loose or aged coolant temperature sensor wiring leading to inaccurate readings; or the fan system activating too early and overcooling. These components are all in the engine bay - not complex but easily overlooked. Don't ignore persistent blue lights, as prolonged cold operation increases engine wear and fuel consumption. I've personally handled similar issues by simply reseating sensors (safety first), but professional diagnosis with scan tools may be needed. Preventive maintenance checks of the cooling system during regular servicing can avoid problems.

I've been driving for many years and have encountered the issue of the blue coolant temperature light, which indicates the coolant is too low in the Vezel. It's normal for the blue light to be on during initial startup, but if it stays on after driving for a while, it could mean the thermostat is stuck open or there's a sensor malfunction. This prevents the coolant temperature from rising, leading to frequent cold starts and significant engine damage. Don't wait for a small issue to become a big one—address any abnormalities promptly, especially in winter when low-temperature operation is even more damaging to the car. Replacing the thermostat isn't expensive and can be done quickly. Safe driving is the top priority.
