Do you have critical warning lights on your dashboard?

Brake System

You will see the red brake light if the handbrake is on - this is perfectly normal.
If the red brake system light is on and the handbrake is not applied then please check the brake fluid levels. Get professional assistance if necessary

If the light remains on even after the brake fluid levels have been checked, DO NOT DRIVE, and seek professional assistance immediately

Seat Belt System

You will see the red seat belt system light if there is a fault in the airbag or seat belt system.
It is important that you have this fault rectified by an authorised repairer immediately. Failure to do so may mean that in the event of an accident, the system could fail to trigger.

Engine Cooling System

If this light appears red on your dashboard, switch off the engine immediately and do not drive any further.
Check the coolant level (refer to the owners manual or seek professional assistance) - if the coolant level is OK then there could be a malfunction on the cooling system.

Contact roadside assistance immediately!

SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE AND DO NOT RESTART. Low oil pressure will cause damage to the engine. Although this warning may be an electrical fault, DO NOT DRIVE until a professional authorised technician has carried out a diagnostic check.

Power Steering

This light can indicate the failure of the power steering system. Switch off the ignition for at least 30 seconds. If the light has not gone off - contact a recovery company.

Seat Belt

This warning appears if the driver or passengers front seat belt is not secured. It may appear with an audible warning. For drivers travelling alone - ensure goods or luggage is not stored on the passenger seat as this will set off the warning. If you have secured the seat belt buckle and there is nothing in the passenger seats that could be triggering the warning, please get your seat belt system checked as soon as possible by an authorised technician.

Steering Lock

If the steering lock light turns red in colour STOP DRIVING IMMEDIATELY. The steering lock could be activated at any time while you are driving. There is a high risk that you could loose control of your vehicle. Please contact roadside recovery immediately.

This warning lamp signifies that the brake pads are worn. Please contact an authorised repairer.

Emissions Control Lamp

If this light shows and doesn't disappear after turning the engine off for thirty seconds and then re-starting then you should have your car looked at in an authorised garage. If the engine is low on power and vibrates excessively with this light on, then stop your vehicle and contact roadside assistance.

Engine Management Lamp

If there is more than one warning light on then stop your vehicle and contact roadside assistance.

If after half an hour the light has come back on again, please take your vehicle to the closest authorised repairer.
