Common Land Rover Dashboard Lights
View the following common warning lamps and indicators that you may encounter while traveling around Norwell:
- Brake Warning Lamp (Red): This lamp illuminates briefly, as a bulb check, when the vehicle’s ignition is switched on. If it illuminates red while driving, it may indicate a low brake fluid level or a fault in the braking system. In that case, stop the vehicle immediately, and check and top up the brake fluid, if necessary. If the lamp remains illuminated, seek qualified assistance before continuing.
- Seat Belt (Red): This warning lamp illuminates with a chime when the car is in motion, and a seat belt is unbuckled.
- Engine Temperature (Red): The engine temperature warning lamp illuminates when the engine’s temperature is too high. The instrument panel will also display a warning message. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, and seek qualified assistance before continuing.
- Anti-Lock Braking System (Yellow): The ABS warning lamp illuminates briefly, as a bulb check, when the vehicle’s ignition is switched on. If the lamp remains on or illuminates while driving, there is a fault with the ABS system. Drive with care, avoiding heavy braking. Seek qualified assistance urgently.
- Lane Keep Assist (Green): The green lane keep assist warning lamp illuminates if the feature is enabled and the system is tracking the lanes. The lane is displayed as grey if the lane is not being tracked or the direction indicator is active on that side of the vehicle.
- Auto High Beam (Blue): The high beam assist lamp illuminates blue when either Auto High Beam Assist (AHBA) or Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) has activated the high beam headlights.
