Dashboard warnings seem to light up at the most inconvenient times, but these lights provide valuable information designed to keep you safe and your vehicle running at peak performance. However, the symbols and icons can be challenging to interpret and determine which needs the most attention. Your CDJR dealer will help you with any confusion and alert you to the warnings you need to watch out for.
Green Is Good
Or at least, it is not bad. The green icons on your dashboard provide information about your vehicle that is not of concern, such as letting you know that your cruise control is on.
Yellow Announces Concern
A yellow icon on your dashboard is the system’s way of letting you know that there is a concern that should be addressed as soon as possible but is not yet an immediate danger. Following up with these yellow warnings with your dealer or certified mechanic is important.
Red Is Bad
Red means stop. When the red icons appear on your dashboard, pay attention. You need to stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. And you should get your vehicle to a certified mechanic as soon as possible. Reach out to Bill Snethkamp CDJR for help when the red icons appear.
Blue Reminds
The one blue light is the high beam indicator, which informs you that your high beams are currently on.
