Drivers are notified of the presence of a malfunction different systems car using. It is not always possible to decipher the meaning of such burning icons intuitively, since not all motorists are well versed in cars. Moreover, on different cars, the graphic designation of one total of the icon itself may differ. It should be noted that not every light on the panel notifies only of a critical malfunction. The indication of the lights up under the icons is divided by color into 3 groups:
Red icons talk about danger, and if any designation lights up in this color, you should pay attention to the signal of the on-board computer in order to take measures to quickly eliminate the malfunction. Sometimes they are not so critical, and it is possible, and sometimes not worth it, to continue moving the car when such an icon is lit on the panel.
Basic icons on dashboard
Yellow indicators warn of a malfunction or the need to take some action to drive a car, or to service it.
Green light bulbs inform about service functions vehicle and their activity.
We present a list of the most frequently asked questions and a transcript, which means a burning icon on the panel.
Information icons
Car icon may be lit differently, it happens that the icon "car with a wrench", the icon "car with a lock" or an exclamation mark are on. About all these designations in order:
When this indicator is on ( key car), then it informs about malfunctions in the engine (often a malfunction of a sensor) or the electronic part of the transmission. To find out the exact reason you will need to produce.
Lit up red car with a lock, which means that there are problems in the work of the regular anti-theft system and it will be impossible to start the car, but if this icon blinks when the car is closed, then everything is normal - the car is locked.
Yellow machine indicator with exclamation mark notifies the driver of the car with hybrid engine about a malfunction of the electric drive. Resetting the error by dropping the battery terminal will not solve the problem - diagnostics are needed.
Open door icon everyone is used to seeing it burning when a door or trunk lid is open, but if all the doors are closed, and a light with one or four doors continues to shine, then often the problem should be looked for in the door switches (wire contacts).
Starts flashing when the stability control system detects a slippery road section and is activated to prevent slipping by reducing engine power and braking the slipping wheel. You shouldn't worry in such a situation. But when a key, a triangle or a crossed out skid icon appears near such an indicator, then the stabilization system is faulty.
Pops up on the scoreboard when it's time to service the car. It is also an information indicator after its maintenance.
Warning icons on the panel
Steering wheel icon can light up in two colors. If the yellow steering wheel is on, then adaptation is required, and when a red image of the steering wheel with an exclamation mark appears, it is already worth worrying about the failure of the power steering system or the EUR. When the red steering wheel lights up, then for sure your steering wheel becomes very difficult to turn.
Typically blinks when the vehicle is closed; in this case, the indicator of a red car with a white key signals that the anti-theft system is working. But there are 3 main reasons if the immo light is constantly on: it is not activated, if the tag from the key is not read, or the anti-theft system is faulty.
Lights up not only when the lever is activated (raised) hand brake, but also in cases where worn out brake pads or need topping up /. On a car with an electronic handbrake, a light bulb parking brake may light up due to a glitch in the limit switch or sensor.
It has several options and, depending on which one is on, draw conclusions about the problem accordingly. One red lamp with the image of the thermometer scale indicates an increased temperature in the engine cooling system, but the yellow expansion tank with waves indicates a low coolant level in the system. But it is worth considering that the coolant lamp does not always light up at a low level, perhaps just a "glitch" of the sensor or float in the expansion barrel.
Indicates a low liquid level in expansion tank glass washer. Such an indicator lights up not only when the level actually drops, but also if the level sensor is clogged (the sensor contacts are covered with a coating due to poor-quality liquid), giving a false signal. On some cars, the level sensor is triggered if the specification of the fluid in the washer is not met.
Is an indicator of the Anti-Spin Regulation. The electronic unit of this system works in tandem with aBS sensors... When such a light is constantly on, it means ASR is not working. On different cars, such an icon may look different, but often in the form of an exclamation mark in a triangle with an arrow around or the inscription itself, or in the form of a typewriter on slippery road.
According to the information from the manual, it indicates a malfunction in the cleaning system exhaust gases, but, as a rule, such a light starts to burn after bad refueling or there is a sensor error. The system registers the misfiring of the mixture, as a result of which the content of harmful substances in the exhaust gases and, as a result, the "exhaust gases" light is on on the dashboard. The problem is not critical, but diagnostics should be done to find out the cause.
Fault reporting
Lights up if voltage drops in on-board network, often this problem is associated with the lack of battery charge from the generator, therefore it can also be called the "generator icon". On vehicles with a hybrid engine, this indicator is complemented by the “MAIN” lettering at the bottom.
He's a red oiler - indicates a drop in the oil level in the car engine. This icon lights up when the engine is started, and does not go out after a few seconds or may light up while driving. This fact indicates problems in the lubrication system or a drop in oil level or pressure. The oil icon on the panel can be with a droplet or with waves at the bottom; on some cars, the indicator is supplemented with the min, senso, oil level inscription (yellow inscriptions) or simply the letters L and H (characterizing low and high oil levels).
It can light up in several versions: as a red inscription SRS and AIRBAG, and "a red man wearing a seat belt", and in front of him a circle. When one of these icons is lit on the panel, then it is on-board computer notifies you of a malfunction in the system passive safetyand in accident case the air bags will not deploy. The reasons why the pillow sign lights up, and how to troubleshoot, read the article on the site.
Icon exclamation point may look different and its meanings will be different accordingly. So, for example, when the red (!) In a circle is lit, this indicates a malfunction of the brake system and it is advisable not to continue driving until the cause of its appearance is clarified. They can be very different: the hand brake is raised, the brake pads are worn out or the level has dropped brake fluid... A lowered level is just a danger, because the reason can be not only strongly worn out pads, as a result of which, when you press the pedal, the fluid disperses through the system, and the float gives a signal about a low level, the brake hose may be damaged somewhere, and this is much more serious. Although, very often the exclamation mark lights up if the float (level sensor) is out of order or short-circuited, and then it just lies. On some cars, the exclamation mark is accompanied by the inscription "BRAKE", but this does not change the essence of the problem.
Another exclamation mark can be lit in the form of an attention sign, both on a red background and on a yellow one. When the yellow "attention" sign lights up, it informs about a malfunction in the electronic stabilization system, and if on a red background, it simply warns the driver about something, and, as a rule, an explanatory text is lit on the dashboard display or is combined with other informative designation.
ABS badge may have several display options on the dashboard, but regardless of this, it means the same thing on all cars - the appearance of a malfunction in the ABS system, and that at the moment anti-lock braking system wheels does not work. You can find out the reasons in our article. In this case, movement can be performed, but you do not need to rely on the ABS action, the brakes will operate as usual.
It can either periodically light up or burn constantly. A light bulb with such an inscription notifies of problems with the stabilization system. The Electronic Stability Program indicator, as a rule, glows for one of two reasons - either the steering angle sensor is out of order, or the brake light sensor (aka "frog") ordered to live long. Although, there is a more serious problem, for example, the brake pressure sensor is covered.
Some drivers may refer to it as the "injector icon" or may turn yellow when the engine is running. It informs about the presence of engine errors and its malfunction. electronic systems... To determine the reason for its appearance on the dashboard display, self-diagnosis or computer diagnostics are performed.
Glow plugs icon can light up on the dashboard diesel car, the meaning of such an indicator is exactly the same as that of the "check" icon on gasoline cars. When in memory electronic unit there are no errors, then the spiral icon should go out after the engine warms up and the glow plugs are turned off. How to check glow plugs.
This material is informative for most car owners. And although absolutely all possible icons of all existing cars are not presented here, you can independently understand the main symbols of the car dashboard, and do not sound the alarm when you see that the icon on the panel is on again.

One of my old acquaintances recently bought himself a new car. After a week of car operation, I began to call several times a day and ask what the icon on the dashboard means. By the way, among the new owners modern cars this is not an isolated case. Many car enthusiasts driving a new modern car, and seeing on the tidy that the indicator lights up, they immediately get scared and think that a breakdown has occurred in some system, but in fact, this is not always the case.
Indicators notify the driver not only about malfunctions, but also about a particular action that must be performed by the person driving the car. The signals on the dashboard can be compared to road signs, which are warning and prohibiting.
The dashboard indicators can be divided into several categories and subcategories.
And so what you need to know and remember. If a red icon with any pictogram lights up on the device, we can most likely say that there is a problem in the car, with which its operation is extremely undesirable, and can lead to serious consequences. In this case, you should immediately stop, turn off the engine and tow it, or transport the car on a tow truck to the service.
If a yellow or orange indicator on the dashboard lights up, which is a warning of a malfunction or failure of a control element of one of the automotive systemswithout tightening, show the car to a specialist who will determine the problem to fix it. In this case, the operation of the car is allowed in a limited mode, only for independent movement to the car service. On some cars, after a warning signal appears on the dashboard, the full operation of many systems is blocked and the car goes into emergency mode, in which the speed and control of the power unit will be limited.
A lit green icon on the dashboard indicates that a certain system is turned on and functioning normally, therefore, you can safely continue driving.
Hope you are clear with the basic categories of indicators on a car dashboard. If there are no questions, let's move on and consider each icon specifically, its designation and what it signals.
Decoding of icons on the dashboard
Important icons on the dashboard for which car operation is not recommended
The handbrake is on or the brake fluid level in the system is below the permissible level. Also, this indicator may indicate malfunctions of the brake system itself, depressurization, wear of the pads, etc.
