What Do Hyundai Dashboard Warning Lights And Symbols Mean

Hyundai dashboard symbols might be intimidating and frustrating to see pop up. All of these indicators and warnings are there for a reason; they are your car's method of keeping you safe and informed. They can warn you of impending problems, demonstrate the need to replenish fluids or indicate the status of various functions. Numerous symbols may display on your Hyundai dashboard; however, you need not fear because our Hyundai service centre is available to help you understand their meaning and address any problems they indicate. Find out what each of the lights on your Hyundai's dashboard represents by reading on, and if you need any help keeping your car or SUV in top condition, don't hesitate to contact our Hyundai repair center.

A Checklist of Hyundai's Dashboard Warning Lights

Hyundai uses color coding for its dashboard icons, so know what they mean before you start poking around. When a feature is turned on, represented by a green icon, a yellow warning light will let you know that there may be a problem with the system, and a red warning icon will signal that a mechanical problem has been discovered. Keeping this color scheme in mind, let's take a look at some of the more frequently encountered symbols that might appear on your Hyundai's dashboard:

Warning Light for Engine Dysfunction

There are a wide variety of possible causes for the check engine light to come on. Some of them are minor. It's possible that a loose gas cap is what's triggering the "check engine" light on your Hyundai. Some, however, can lead to major disasters and necessitate the assistance of a professional. In either situation, it's best to not risk driving with the warning light on and get your car into our shop as soon as possible for service.

Master Warning Light

The Master Warning symbol is one of the most important warning lights on your Hyundai dashboard. Any failure in your vehicle's safety or electrical systems, or the impending need for a routine maintenance repair, can trigger the illumination of the warning light. Low windshield washer fluid is another potential culprit. If adding more wiper fluid does not eliminate the warning, please contact our service facility before proceeding with your trip.

Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light

If you're unfamiliar with the Hyundai dashboard symbols and what they imply, this one indicates low oil pressure, which can seriously damage your engine. Premature engine failure can occur if oil pressure is not maintained properly. If this warning light comes on, pull over as soon as it is safe to do so and call our support line.

Battery Charging System

 

Here’s the situation, there has been an issue with your car's charging system. The battery's life cycle has ended, the alternator isn't putting out enough power, or there are other electrical problems. If this light comes on, it's time to pull over and make an appointment with a Hyundai-trained professional.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light

This warning light illuminates the Hyundai dashboard when the anti-lock braking system (ABS) intervenes to prevent wheels from slipping. In the event that it stays on, there may be an issue with the ABS system. Make sure your car can stop properly by scheduling maintenance right away.
