BMW Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
BMW of Lincoln wants you to understand the meaning behind your car's warning signs. These indicators generally appear on your instrument panel are there to inform you about the condition of your car. Warning lights can also remind you that maintenance is due. Here are ten common service indicators you should remember.
Airbag Fault
A problem with the airbag system in your car is responsible for this light. You should take the vehicle to your dealer's service center for inspection.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The fuel in your car has dropped to a very low level. Running out of gas is imminent, and this could damage your fuel pump. It would help if you refueled at the first opportunity.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
The oil pressure in your car is low. You must stop as soon as possible to check the vehicle's oil level. A low oil level might not be the issue, however. If you have refilled the oil and the light remains on, seek help from your dealer's service center.
Service Vehicle Soon
Routine maintenance is required on your vehicle now. It has been 3,000-5,000 miles since your last oil change. The light can also refer to a tire rotation or other basic maintenance. Have the work performed, and the light reset.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
This light indicates that one or more tires require inflation. Once you have added air to your tires, the light should go off. A TPMS light that stays on is probably malfunctioning. BMW of Lincoln can check to see if the light is working as intended.
Slip Indicator
A slip indicator is found in vehicles that have Vehicle Stability Control or Traction Control. The light comes on to let you know that your tires have poor traction. They may be slipping on the road's surface.
Charging System Warning Light
This light is alerting you to a charging issue with your battery. Many issues could cause this light to come on. It could appear due to a bad alternator or a broken fan belt. Your car should be taken to a professional without delay.
Brake System
When this light appears, there is an issue with your car's ABS braking system. You should bring the car to the BMW of Lincoln service center. We can inspect the braking system to determine what the issue is.
Open Door Warning Light
As you probably imagine, this light means that one or more of your car doors is open. It could also mean that the trunk has not been closed. Check all the doors and the trunk to make this indicator go away.
Coolant Level Warning
The coolant in your car's radiator is too low. It would help if you refilled it as soon as it is safe to do so. Do not try to refill coolant while the radiator is hot. If refilling the coolant does not solve the issue, the sensor of the light could be bad.
