All about car signal lamps
Every driver has experienced a warning light on the dashboard and wondered what it means. All cars have dozens of warning lights to alert the driver when there is a problem with the system, when the vehicle needs service, or simply when the driver needs to know something. These warning lights can signal something as minor as the need to close a door, or something as serious as the need to change the brake pads.
When you turn on the vehicle for the first time, some indicators may come on during a system check. The indicators will then disappear and only turn on again when a problem is detected. When a warning light comes on, you need to familiarize yourself with it before moving on. This will allow you to understand how serious the problem is and what can be done to fix it.
