A Basic Overview of Warning Lights

What is the most serious warning light?

While it can be a scary sign when the check engine light comes on, more often than not it doesn't mean anything serious. This warning indicates potential problems with other parts of the car, like wheels or tires. Ignoring this warning could lead to more serious damages like a blown head gasket.

Can I drive my car with a warning light?

The driver may drive the car as long as the check engine light is steady and any other essential systems are operational. You should also monitor alerts on your dashboard, like coolant temperature and oil pressure.

What should a driver do if a system warning light?

If a warning light for your car flashes on while you are driving, try to find a safe place to pull over and evaluate the problem. Only after you have evaluated it can you decide what is necessary to do next.

How far can you drive with warning light on?

Many gas models allow you to go up to 100 miles after the first "low fuel" warning. So, it's no point in worrying about it when it's just a simple warning.
