Don't let car alarm lights fall off at critical moments

Which alarm lights do you know in the car? Are they aware of their existence only when they are alerted? What is the significance of their existence? When will they give alarm alerts? For these issues, we don’t listen to hearsay, but we only use professional knowledge to help you solve the problem.

Water temperature alarm light

The water temperature meter can display the temperature of the vehicle in real time. Under normal conditions, the pointer of the water temperature meter indicates the position in the red area. If the alarm light alarms, the water temperature gauge pointer indicates to the red alarm area of ​​the water temperature gauge, then the vehicle's engine has been in high temperature operation, and a long time will cause severe engine damage. At this time should stop and check to see if the engine open pan, such as the actual pan, do not start the car, let it slowly cool, and then wait for rescue or to add cooling water, or to a nearby maintenance station inspection and maintenance.

Engine failure warning light

Engine fault warning lights are mainly used at the engine. Once the engine fault warning light is on or the gauge indication is too high, the engine is in a sick state. At this point, the engine should be turned off and the engine oil dipstick pulled out to see if the oil page is between the minimum and maximum limits. If the oil level is normal, you need to find maintenance personnel to check it.

Brake warning light

The brake warning light is mainly used to monitor the warning light of the brake system. If the brake warning light is on when the normal brake lever is released, it is necessary to promptly get off the brake and check the brake fluid level to check if the brake fluid is missing or leaking. Normal brake oil will not be short of too much, but the brake oil leakage will lead to brake failure. If there is no shortage, you need to open to the maintenance station to check if there is any problem with the brake fluid level sensor or hand brake light switch.

ABS warning light

ABS is the abbreviation of the anti-lock braking system. Its function is to automatically control the brake braking force when the vehicle is braking, so that the wheel is not locked and the adhesion between the wheel and the ground is at a maximum. If the ABS lamp is lit during driving, an abnormality has occurred in the ABS electronic control system. Under normal circumstances, the brake system will not be a problem, but ABS does not work, then as long as the normal driving, and then to the maintenance station can be repaired.

Airbag warning light

The airbag is a passive safety protection system that provides effective crash protection for the occupants. If the airbag self-test fails after the start of the vehicle, the safety warning light will light up. At this time, the airbag may not pop open in the event of an accident and will not be able to achieve passive protection. The service station should be repaired as soon as possible.

Car alarm lights are often forgotten when the vehicle is normal, but the critical moment is quite awesome, so don't ignore the unknown ones during maintenance.
