Red means stop
These can mean damage within minutes.
- Oil pressure: engine damage if you keep driving
- Temperature: overheating can warp the engine
- Brake warning: low fluid or a hydraulic problem
- Battery or charging: the car may stall soon
Amber means soon
Check engine, tire pressure, ABS and traction lights mean a fault is stored. The car may drive normally, but with the check engine light already on, a second fault will not turn on a new warning. A flashing check engine light is the exception: it means a severe misfire, so stop driving.
