DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS

Dashboard Lights are color-coded and display as steady or flashing based on urgency. Red indicates a warning, while yellow/orange indicates something of which you should be aware. Similarly, a flashing warning light often indicates a serious problem. A steady light is often a problem you need to address but one that won’t result in an immediate safety issue.

Brake Warning Light

A brake warning light requires immediate attention. A problem is detected within your brake system that can cause a failure to brake safely. Two important components to the brake system are brake fluid level and brake pad material level. These components work together to completely stop your vehicle. Bring your vehicle to a Monro store as soon as possible to have our highly trained mechanics diagnose and perform a comprehensive inspection of your brake system.

Make an appointment immediately if you are experiencing braking issues like:

• Loss of brakes
• Grinding or brake noise
• Soft or spongy braking
• Brake pulling, vehicle pulling to one side when braking
• Pedal vibration

Oil Light

The oil light indicates the oil pressure has dropped very low or lost pressure. Running the vehicle with low or lost oil pressure can cause mechanical damage to the engine almost immediately. Bring your vehicle to the nearest Monro store as soon as possible to have our mechanics diagnose and repair the low oil pressure issue to get you back on the road.

Battery Charge Warning Light

The battery charge warning light indicates that the battery is not charging properly, or not holding a charge. The battery is responsible for starting the ignition system and powering other performance systems. It is important to have a good battery and functioning charging system to keep your vehicle moving. Schedule an appointment with your local Monro store today. Let our highly trained mechanics diagnose and perform a comprehensive inspection of your battery charging system.
