The Color System
Contrary to popular belief, dashboard lights aren't necessarily a sign of a catastrophic issue. They are, however, your car's way of communicating with you. Some of the dashboard lights are going to be alerting you to service, others to issues, and some may be indicating that something is currently happening, like the high-beam light. The great thing about driving a BMW vehicle is that there is a color system so you can tell the difference.
If you see a red light on your dashboard, it is an indicator that there may be an urgent problem with your vehicle. When you see a red light illuminated, your response should be to make an appointment to come into the service center at BMW of Freehold. You may also see orange/yellow lights that are signs that you should seek service soon. If you see a green or blue light, it is a way of the vehicle alerting you that a feature your car has is currently active.
What Are Some Common Dashboard Lights?
Luckily, your BMW's owner's manual has all the dashboard lights listed, as well as their meanings. You should take some time to familiarize yourself with their meanings. Some of the common dashboard lights that people may see on their dashboard include low tire pressure, turn signal is on, high beams are on, brake service is needed, oil change required, and that your car is in park. Most of the lights you will see on your dashboard are not critical in nature.
