Dashboard Warning Lights
Whether it's an improperly closed door, or the dreaded check-engine alert, dashboard warning lights are how your car communicates with you when something goes wrong.
They light every time you start your vehicle, illuminated briefly as your car warms up and makes sure all systems are safe and ready to go. Occasionally one light might stay on, indicating there’s a problem. Be equally alert if one or more warning lights don’t briefly illuminate. If they aren't functioning, you might not be able to detect a problem they'd warn you about.
