Deciphering Your INFINITI’s Dashboard Warning Lights at Your INFINITI Dealer

With dashboard warning lights, you’re never in the dark about the condition of your vehicle. But sometimes, it can be hard to tell what each warning light means and whether you should visit your INFINITI dealer when one turns on. Get the scoop on dashboard lights today.

Typically, the warning lights on your dashboard will only turn on when internal vehicle sensors detect a problem. Issues can be as simple as a loose fuel cap to complex issues that can only be deciphered with an engine diagnostic exam. The most common warning lights include:

Your vehicle’s anti-lock braking system is a crucial part of your brake system that provides optimal traction on slick or difficult road conditions. While your brakes are still functional when this warning light turns on, it’s still important to schedule service as soon as possible so your anti-lock brakes can be assessed.

Even if you don’t notice any brake performance issues, your brake warning light may turn on for a few reasons. This dashboard light might turn on if the parking brake is on or if your brake system is low on brake fluid.

Your vehicle keeps track of your battery charge level. When your battery charge is too low, it might be because your battery is being drained by the alternator or your battery is too low. You should visit the dealership quickly if the charge warning light turns on since a dead battery makes it impossible to operate your vehicle.

Sometimes, this warning light is indicative of a more serious issue than low motor oil. When your engine oil light turns on, you should schedule service immediately to protect your engine from serious damage.

Your INFINITI dashboard has a malfunction light that is typically yellow and shaped like an engine. This warning light can point to general issues, such as high carbon emissions, a loose fuel cap, or other problems.

Most drivers don’t think twice about the status of the airbags in the vehicle. However, your vehicle monitors the functionality of your airbag system to keep you safe in case of an accident. The supplemental airbag warning light may turn on if the airbag deployment system is malfunctioning.

Deciphering your dashboard lights can be the key to staying safe on the road. Book a service appointment at J.B.A. INFINITI of Ellicott City in Ellicott City, MD.
