Every time you start your car, warning lights glare dashboard to greet you and disappear after a few seconds. But if they stay on, there may be a big problem that must be addressed immediately.
"We must be aware of the motorists lights" big three "critical", said John Nielsen, director of automotive AAA. "Include those that monitor engine oil pressure, and temperature coolant system and cargo vehicles. To reduce the risk of damage the car and / or collapse on the side of the road, and these lights require swift action and appropriate when light up."
AAA provides the following guidelines on what to do if these lights come on:
* Engine oil pressure: This warning displays generally oil can symbol or the word "oil." This means that the engine has lost its supply of oil lubricating intense pressure and damage the engine or catastrophic failure can occur within seconds.
If the oil pressure lamp comes on, stop the vehicle immediately, stop the engine and pull the car to be a repair center. However, if you are in a very dangerous situation, do not try to push the car.
* Coolant temperature Engine: This indicator presents the thermometer symbol or emblem generally "TEMP". When the light is coolant temperature, engine temperature exceeded maximum safety. So is reversed the increase in the temperature of the coolant, the engine suffers wear rapidly. If the increase in temperature continues, it will damage the main engine or catastrophic failure as a result.
If a warning light comes on temperature, and assess the situation quickly. Steam or coolant from under the hood is a clear indication of the high temperature, leakage,'s.
Leave the road at the earliest opportunity safe first and ask for help. Because the coolant boiling can cause severe burns, do not attempt to open the hood in the presence of steam and the failure to remove excess radiator cap when the engine is hot.
* Shipping System: This light shows often a symbol or logo battery "ALT" or "GEN" and means it is no longer providing the electrical system by the generator.
According to the needs of the electric car and reserve capacity of the battery, and will usually at least 20 minutes of daylight before the voltage drop when a car ignition system no longer works.
If the charging system indicator lights, turn off all unnecessary electrical accessories and drive to the nearest repair facility check to the car.
