Article

When you start your car, you'll notice the dashboard warning lights come on briefly before fading away. If they stay lit, it’s a signal that something requires immediate attention.

John Nielsen, Director of AAA Automotive, emphasizes the importance of the 'big three' warning lights:

1. Engine Oil Pressure Light:
- Symbol: Usually an oil can or the word "OIL."
- Risk: Indicates a loss of pressurized lubricating oil, potentially causing severe engine damage in seconds.
- Action: Pull over immediately, turn off the engine, and have the vehicle towed to a repair facility. Avoid driving unless absolutely necessary for safety.

2. Engine Coolant Temperature Light:
- Symbol: Often a thermometer or the word "TEMP."
- Risk: Signals that the engine has overheated, leading to accelerated wear and possible major damage.
- Action: Check for steam or coolant leaks. Pull over safely and call for assistance. Never open the hood if there's excessive steam or remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot.

3. Charging System Light:
- Symbol: Typically a battery symbol or the words "ALT" or "GEN."
- Risk: Indicates that the alternator is not supplying power, risking a breakdown.
- Action: Turn off unnecessary electrical devices and head to the nearest repair facility as you may have about 20 minutes of daylight driving time before the battery is drained.

Understanding and responding to these warning lights can help you prevent costly repairs and ensure your safety on the road.
