Always Pay Attention to Dashboard Lights in Your INFINITI

The Importance of Watching for Dashboard Lights

While you are traveling across the Denver Metro region or the rest of Colorado in your premium INFINITI, you must always be observant of anything that could be an issue. Fortunately, your INFINITI is equipped with the tools to easily indicate a potential issue while out and about. Dashboard warning lights are an indicator that something on your vehicle needs to be evaluated by a trained professional at the Mike Ward INFINITI Service Center in Highlands Ranch, CO. Knowing which lights demand the most immediate attention is key to keeping your INFINITI running at its peak for years! If you are ever uncertain about what an icon on your dashboard could mean, make sure you contact our knowledgeable service technicians!

Important Dashboard Lights to Note

Engine Temperature Light – An overheating engine can get out of control if not quickly handled. If you notice a lighted icon that looks like a thermometer and some wavy lines on your dashboard, immediately pull over where it is safe to do so and shut off the engine. The coolant levels in your vehicle are likely low if this icon appears, meaning scheduling an appointment with us as soon as possible is advised.

Brake Failure Light – If you notice that a circle with an exclamation mark appears lighted in your INFINITI, you should immediately pull over and call for roadside assistance. This icon indicates that you likely have something malfunctioning in the braking system, which is incredibly dangerous to drive with. After calling a tow truck, please contact us immediately for emergency service on your brakes. 

Low Oil Pressure Light – When you see what appears to be an oil can dripping oil appear on your dashboard, this could mean a couple of things. One is that your oil levels are getting low and resulting in not enough pressure in the engine. Your vehicle could also be experiencing an issue with the oil pressure sensor itself. Either way, please bring your vehicle in for an oil change and inspection if you notice that this light has appeared recently.
