![]() ![]() Usually, it comes on with the parking brake on. If the gauge is, of course if it's high then you need to stop the vehicle immediately and have it repaired, towed in, get it repaired. You can often verify it by looking at the gauge. On this vehicle, it does actually have a coolant temperature gauge either to the left or right of the speedometer, I can’t remember. This is another one you really need to take seriously, indicating that the coolant temperature is too high in the engine. Same with this red light here, this is the temperature warning light. If it's full have your vehicle towed in for service, it's very critical. If this light comes on, check your oil first. Also, of course, the electrical system can malfunction but don't take a chance on that. This indicates that there is no oil pressure in the engine. This is a red light you would need to take very seriously. If we move to the right here, the oil can light. Just be wary that that's something you probably going to need to service soon. Sometimes when this light comes on, other lights will come on at the same time. as quickly as you can somewhere that you can have the vehicle serviced and repaired because you'll probably need alternator or maybe a drive belt. When the light comes on, chances are your car's going to be dead pretty soon. It doesn't actually indicate there's anything wrong with the battery but usually it comes on when the alternator is not charging the battery. This indicates low voltage in the vehicle system. To the left, we have the battery, this light looks like a battery. If you have all your seatbelts buckled up and that light is still on, there's got to be a malfunction in the system. This light here with the body with the seatbelt here, it just indicates your seatbelt's not buckled up. ![]() These other red lights are certainly to be taken more seriously, many of them.

Obviously, they don't want you driving without an airbag working but it won't affect your performance or drive in any way. If something is wrong with the airbag system this red light will come on. This light here that I'm circling, this is the airbag warning light. could be a yellow in my opinion, and on some cars they are. However, I do find there's a couple here that are, at least one that's a little. They're meant to indicate urgent action is needed. As I mentioned in the past, the reds are the lights you want to take really seriously. It's a 3.3L gasoline-powered engine, which is pretty much, it's a couple different engine options, but there's no diesel so you're pretty much, I would say the lights in this are probably pretty much the same across the board.
