The dashboard lights in your vehicle help you know how “healthy” it is, and are an important part of driving safely. These lights can warn you about the status of your car’s most vital parts: oil pressure, battery level, tire pressure, and the amount of fuel in your tank.

When a light turns on, it could mean potential problems including an overheating engine or malfunctioning breaks. By ignoring these lights, you are at greater risk of breakdowns or an accident.
