What does the STOP display on the car mean?

[VonBennett]

Meaning of STOP: It is a mandatory stop warning light. When illuminated, the engine must be stopped. The STOP light is not a standalone light. There are also other indicator lights on the dashboard such as water temperature, oil pressure, air pressure, engine, and cabin. When a component malfunctions, the STOP light will illuminate. More detailed explanations are as follows: 1. If the engine water temperature is too high while driving, the water temperature warning light will come on, and the STOP light will also illuminate, indicating an engine fault. There is also a yellow light on the dashboard; the STOP light is red, with yellow indicating a general fault and red indicating a serious fault. Different cars have different dashboards. However, conventional car dashboards generally include a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging gauge. 2. Modern car dashboards feature various indicator or warning lights beneath the panel, such as coolant level warning light, fuel level indicator, washer fluid level indicator, charging indicator, high/low beam indicator, transmission gear indicator, anti-lock braking system (ABS) indicator, traction control indicator, and airbag (SRS) warning light.
