Remember the key tips and avoid giving up halfway.

Have you ever found that every time the car just started, the "colorful" vehicle information alarm indicator lights will light up on the dashboard, which can really scare you if you don't understand it. In fact, this is the system's self-inspection of vehicle parts, which is all open at once and all closed at once. If an alarm light is not turned off, it means that the system it represents has a problem. You can clearly tell where the car is out of order by the fault light.

The following kinds of fault lights are on, so pay special attention.

1, oil fault light (some cars are accompanied by low oil pressure prompt)

The oil fault light is always on, indicating that the oil pressure is abnormal. You must stop immediately to check whether the oil level is low, whether the engine noise will be loud, and so on. If you think the engine is running normally, you'd better drive slowly to the nearest 4S shop or repair shop as soon as possible. If the engine is abnormal, it is best to call a trailer to avoid further losses. The oil ensures the lubrication of the engine. If the lubrication is not good, the engine may be seriously worn or even scrapped.

2. Water temperature (antifreeze) alarm lamp

The water temperature warning light is on, indicating that the engine is overheated, that is, the water temperature is high and the cooling system is faulty. High water temperature may cause deformation or even cylinder pulling of engine cylinder head, which is very serious. At this time, it is necessary to stop immediately and wait for the water temperature to drop, check whether the water level of the anti-freezing pot is normal, and replenish it immediately if it is short of liquid. After the water temperature drops, you should find the nearest 4S shop or repair shop as soon as possible. Pay attention to drive slowly and always pay attention to the water temperature. If the water temperature is high, turn off the fire immediately to cool down.

3. Battery warning light

The battery fault light indicates that there is something wrong with the generator charging system or battery. If the engine doesn't generate electricity, the battery will run out and the car will break down. If there is something wrong with the battery, you may not get a taxi after the car is turned off. In short, in this case, you should find a 4S shop or repair shop as soon as possible.

4. Tire pressure warning light

For vehicles with tire pressure monitoring, this light is on, indicating that the tire pressure is insufficient or too high, so you should stop in time to check and deal with it, otherwise there is a danger of tire puncture. If the tire pressure is high, you can release some air. If the tire pressure is low, you should replace the spare tire. Some cars have real-time tire pressure values, which can be judged more intuitively.

5.ABS system fault light

When the ABS light is on, it indicates that the ABS(ESP) system is faulty, but it does not affect the normal use of vehicle brakes, except that it has no anti-lock braking (anti-skid, body stability control) function, so it is necessary to avoid high-speed driving and sudden braking. If possible, find a 4S shop or repair shop as soon as possible.

6. Engine fault light

The engine fault light is always on, indicating that there is something wrong with the engine of the car, especially with the electronic control system. Under normal circumstances, the car can continue to drive, but it will enter the emergency (protection) mode. If possible, find a 4S shop or repair shop as soon as possible. Many taxis in the street have engine trouble lights on all the time, and drivers turn a blind eye because there are no symptoms, but for their own safety, check them.

7. Airbag warning light

If the airbag light of the car is always on, it means that the airbag is faulty. In this state, the car can still run, but if there is a collision, the airbag will not open. In other words, without the airbag system, drivers must be vigilant and repair it as soon as possible.

Fault lights are also divided into priorities, and different colors represent different warning levels.

1, 1 class alarm lamp

Is the red symbol light flashing or on? Sometimes accompanied by an audible alarm. Don't continue driving, stop immediately, check the function and troubleshoot, and contact the garage if necessary.

2. Auxiliary alarm lamp

The yellow symbol light flashes or lights up, sometimes accompanied by an audible alarm. If the car fails in function or the engine oil is insufficient, it may damage the car or break down due to the failure. Check the cause of the fault as soon as possible, consult technical experts and repair the car if necessary.

3. Operation indicator (non-fault)

The green symbol lights up to indicate or indicate that the driver needs corresponding operation.

Different models of indicator lights will be different. The following is the attached drawing of this paper, which collects the complete set of fault lights as much as possible:
