Lincoln Warning Lights

Whether you're navigating your morning commute or going on a weekend trip outside of Hobbs, you will see symbols illuminating on your Lincoln vehicle's dashboard. When these symbols are green or blue, that means a vehicle feature is being used or has been activated. If the light is orange or red, it means your car is experiencing a problem and needs to be taken to a service center near Clovis, NM. As for yellow lights, service may be required, and you should have a technician inspect your car. While not every Lincoln dashboard light is a cause for panic, you should always be aware of any illuminated symbols and react accordingly. Find out more below with Gene Messer Lincoln of Lubbock. 

Lincoln Dashboard Lights Explained

Here are some common Lincoln warning lights and indicators, and what they mean:

Common Warning Lights

Battery
If it illuminates while driving and indicates your vehicle requires service, switch off all unnecessary electrical equipment and have the system checked by a qualified technician immediately.

Brake System Warning Lamp
If the lamp illuminates when you are moving, you may have the parking brake applied. Make sure the parking brake is off. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible if the lamp continues to illuminate. Driving your vehicle with the warning lamp on is dangerous, as you may experience a significant decrease in braking performance. 

Electric Park Brake
It illuminates or flashes when the electric parking brake requires service. 

Engine Or Motor Coolant Temperature
It illuminates when your vehicle's coolant temperature is high. Stop your vehicle as soon as possible, switch it off, and let it cool. 

Engine Oil
If it illuminates with the engine running or while driving, this indicates low engine oil pressure. Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so and switch the engine off. Check the engine oil level. Note: Do not resume your journey if it illuminates despite the level being correct. Have the system checked by a qualified technician immediately.

Front Airbag
If it does not illuminate when you switch the ignition on, continues to flash, or remains on when the engine is running, this indicates a malfunction. Have your vehicle checked immediately by a technician near La Mesa.
