Hyundai Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
Are you aware of all the different warning indicators that your vehicle can display to you? Most people know of the most common warnings. However, there are plenty of others that you should be prepared to see. Read on to find out more about 10 signs that alert you if there's a problem with the performance or integrity of your Hyundai vehicle.
Airbag Fault
After you start your vehicle, your airbag fault light may remain on if there's a problem within your airbag system. Once the computer in your car has alerted you of this code, you should seek service at Vandergriff Hyundai. This is an incredibly important safety feature that you need each time you drive.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
It's not uncommon to forget that you need to fill up your fuel tank. Your vehicle can alert you when you are running very low. You should have enough time to head to your nearest gas station.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
Your oil pressure warning light is something that you should pay very close attention to. When your oil pressure is low, you will need to pull over and check to make sure you have enough oil in the engine. If you find that your oil level is proper and the light doesn't turn off on its own, you should seek professional assistance.
Service Vehicle Soon
This is typically a general warning that will come on every 5,000 miles or so. Your vehicle is trying to remind you that you should make an appointment for routine maintenance like an oil change, filter change, and tire rotation. You can reset the light when the maintenance has been completed.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
Low inflation pressure can put your vehicle in a dangerous predicament. Once you add air to your tires at the recommended level, the alert should turn off after a few minutes or miles. If it doesn't go off on its own, you can contact Vandergriff Hyundai for assistance. You may have an issue with your tire pressure sensor.
Slip Indicator
Your slip indicator alerts you when your tires are not gripping the road properly. Your Vehicle Stability Control or Traction Control systems may be engaged to regain proper traction. A slip indicator light that remains on indicates there is a problem with the TRAC and VSC systems.
Charging System Warning Light
When this light turns on during a drive, you may have an issue with faulty wiring or a broken fan belt. This could also be an indication of a defective battery or charging circuit. Pull your vehicle over and get help.
Brake System
You won't lose the function of your brakes, but an issue with your antilock braking system isn't something to ignore. Quickly get an appointment with our service center to have everything inspected.
Open Door Warning Light
When you have a door or trunk lid that isn't closed all the way, your open door warning light will turn on.
Coolant Level Warning
An issue with your sensor system or coolant level will engage a dashboard indicator. Continuing to drive with low coolant levels will result in your engine overheating. This could cause your engine to fail completely and permanently.
