There is no doubt that vehicles have made it easier to get from point A to point B. But what happens when an unfamiliar light appears on your vehicle’s dashboard before you arrive at your destination? Not only is it extremely beneficial for drivers to understand what the different symbols on their vehicle’s dashboard means, but to also understand what the color of the symbol indicates. Below is a list of Nissan’s warning lights and their meanings.

 

Blue, White and/or green

Symbols on your vehicle’s dashboard can appear as blue, white or green depending on the year your vehicle was produced. Symbols that appear in these colors indicate that a common feature is turned on, and functions as a reminder to drivers to turn it off. Common features include turn signals, cruise control and headlights.

 

Yellow

Symbols that appear with a yellow light indicates that although there is a malfunction in the vehicle, it is not dangerous for drivers to operate it. For example, the appearance of a yellow ABS symbol indicates that a safety system was triggered, but drivers should operate their vehicle more carefully.

 

Red

Red lights indicate that something is not only wrong with your vehicle, but that it can also be dangerous for drivers to continue operating it. When red symbols appear on the dashboard, drivers should immediately pull over and check their vehicle’s manual to figure out how to fix the dangerous issue.

 

It is necessary for drivers to understand the meaning behind the lights and symbols that appear on their dashboard. Not only does it allow drivers to continuously maintain their vehicle’s condition, but it also gives insight into potentially dangerous operating situations for drivers.
