Every time you start your car, you’ll see multiple lights come on your dashboard. These lights indicate that their respective systems are in working order. As you cruise around New Tulsa, some lights will illuminate when a system is active or when there’s an issue. It’s crucial to note any warning lights that appear, as driving with certain lights on may be unsafe. If you drive a JEEP® vehicle, you’ll want to check out this guide from South Pointe Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. We’ll review some of the common lights you might encounter and what they mean.
JEEP Warning Lights & Indicators Explained
While the following is not an exhaustive list of warning lights and indicators in a JEEP car, it is a list of some examples you might see in your vehicle:
- Air Bag Warning Light: This light turns on with a single chime when a fault with the air bag is detected.
- Brake Warning Light: On some vehicles, this indicates the parking brake is applied. If it remains on and no parking brake is applied, it indicates a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid.
- Engine Temperature: The engine coolant temperature is too high. Overheated engine condition. If this light turns on while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle.
- Seatbelt Reminder: The driver or front passenger’s seat belt is unbuckled. This indicator will remain on until the seat belt is fastened.
- Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS): If this light remains on while driving, the anti-lock portion of the brake system is not functioning. Service is required. Visit a service center near Bixby.
- Tire Pressure Measuring System (TPMS): The tire pressure is low or decreasing.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light: The engine oil pressure is low. If this light turns on while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle.
- Low Charge: If you drive an EV, this indicator means that your battery has a low charge.
