What Do My Car’s Dashboard Warning Lights Mean?
Has a dashboard light turned on in your car? Are you wondering what your GMC dashboard symbols mean? If you find yourself asking these questions, visit our Buick and GMC dealership in Schaumburg to speak with a knowledgeable specialist.
We’ll explain the vehicle dashboard symbols and ensure your GMC truck or Buick SUV leaves our state-of-the-art auto service center in tip-top shape.
Here’s a quick rundown of the potential dashboard warning lights that may illuminate, but don’t hesitate to contact our local Buick dealer if you have any questions.
Tire Pressure Warning Light
If this indicator lamp lights up, that means one of your tires is below the recommend tire PSI or is deflated. Please bring your car to a stop and check your tires. A tire can become deflated due to many factors such as road debris or cold temperature, so make sure to schedule GMC service or Buick maintenance to stay on top of your tire pressure.
Engine Temperature Warning Light
The engine temperature warning light, which looks like a thermometer, illuminates when your vehicle’s engine has exceeded the recommended maximum temperature. It's important to bring your vehicle to a repair shop like ours when this light turns on because an overheated engine can result in major damage that’s often irreparable.
Check Oil Light On
This symbol means that your engine oil level is too low. Contact our Schaumburg Buick service center to schedule an oil change nearby immediately.
Car Battery Light
Your dashboard battery light is designed to let you know about an issue with your vehicle's battery or charging system. If this symbol illuminates, please visit our nearby GMC dealer for a car battery check.
ABS Warning Light
When the Anti-lock Brake System indicator light turns on, it means the antilock system has been deactivated because of a malfunction. If this symbol illuminates, then we suggest you schedule an appointment at our Illinois GMC service center as soon as possible.
Continue your journey cautiously while trying to avoid braking with full force and give us a call to schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience.
