Battery
A battery warning light may point to a weak battery, an alternator issue, or another problem in the charging system. Have it checked promptly to reduce the risk of being stranded with a vehicle that will not start.

Some dashboard warning lights signal issues that should be inspected promptly. The Certified Service team at Hurd Chevrolet can help evaluate your vehicle and recommend the next steps. Here are seven common dashboard lights to watch for.
Traction Control Light
The traction control indicator may flash while the system helps maintain grip on slippery pavement. If the light stays on, have the system inspected to identify the cause.
Engine Oil Level
An oil warning may indicate low oil pressure or another lubrication issue. It is not always a routine oil-change reminder. If a red oil-pressure warning stays on, stop safely and shut off the engine; continuing to drive can cause severe damage.
Check Engine
A check engine light can have a range of causes, from a loose fuel cap to an engine or emissions concern. If the light flashes, avoid driving and arrange prompt service to prevent possible damage.
Airbag and Seatbelt System
An illuminated airbag or seatbelt warning may signal a restraint-system fault. Have it inspected; certain faults can prevent important safety features from operating as intended.
Tire Pressure Warning
Your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) can indicate that one or more tires are underinflated. Check tire pressure when safe, and have persistent warnings evaluated to help maintain vehicle handling and tire life.
Engine Temperature
An engine temperature warning can indicate overheating, often related to coolant level or a cooling-system problem. Pull over safely and turn off the engine rather than continuing to drive while it overheats.
Ask about a multi-point vehicle inspection for added peace of mind!

Warning lights and their meanings vary by vehicle. Follow your owner’s manual for specific instructions. Some lights require you to stop driving immediately. Multi-point inspections, diagnostic services, and estimates may be subject to eligibility, fees, and additional charges; ask your service advisor for details. Safety-related warnings cannot simply be cleared in place of required repairs. Parts and labor for any approved repair are additional.
