The battery charging indicator light is just one of the signs that lets drivers know when their vehicle needs service or repair support. At Genesis of Brunswick, we’ll help you decode the messages, so you can get your vehicle the care it needs. Learn about different dashboard warning lights to watch for.
Battery Charging Indicator Light
The battery in your Genesis vehicle is responsible for some the most important functions, including turning the car on and keeping essential parts working, like the headlights. That’s why you always want to know if your battery is in need of care, and the battery charging indicator light will let you know when it is. It’s shaped like a small battery, with a plus and minus sign in the center, and typically indicates that there is an issue with the generator or surrounding electrical system, more than the actual battery.
Check Engine Light
You always want to pay attention to your vehicle’s check engine light, which could indicate issues either with the engine or the emissions system. Before you worry too much, consider the common causes for the check engine light to come on. These include a loose or damaged gas cap or simple sensor failures, though it could also indicate more serious issues, like worn spark plugs or a catalytic converter that needs to be replaced.
Braking System
If you see a symbol show up on your dash that looks like a circle with an exclamation point inside, surrounded by brackets, it’s time to think about brake service. The first thing you’ll want to check is that you’ve disengaged the parking brake before setting off. Otherwise, the braking symbol can indicate concerns about fluid levels, the brake pads, or other parts of the braking system.
