Traction Control Light
This light may come on during something as commonplace as driving on a slippery road. If you notice that it won’t turn off, though, take it in to be checked ASAP.
Engine Oil Level
If your car is due for an oil change, this light will activate. The engine oil level light may also turn on because your vehicle’s oil pressure is low, which could result in sudden engine failure.
Check Engine
This one might not be an indicator of anything serious. But if the check engine light is on as well, you should have it examined by a service technician sooner rather than later.
Airbag and Seatbelt System
This usually relates to the seatbelt sensor, but if a problem with the airbags is the cause, they may not be deployed in the event of a collision.
Tire Pressure Warning
Also known as the TPMS symbol, this light means that the pressure in one or more tires is either too high or too low. This could be dangerous if you continue to drive without having them checked.
Engine Temperature
This symbol appears when your engine is overheated. It’s most often triggered by a low level of engine coolant, but there are several other issues that could cause it to turn on. With that said, it’s important to have it assessed by a professional if you hope to avoid more serious damage.
