The first response you have when you see a light on the dashboard is that there is something amiss with your vehicle. Seeing something out of the ordinary crop up can lead to a heart-skipping moment, but if you know what everything means, you can be prepared to act. Some of them are merely lights that let you know that an action is occurring, while others are indicators that there may be a problem with your BMW. So how can you know the difference?
Dashboard Indicator Lights
Dashboard indicator lights are not a signal that there is something wrong, just an indicator that there is something going on with your vehicle. They are often green or blue in color.
- Turn signals
- Parking Brake
- Headlamp lights, including Front Fog Lamp, High Beam, Parking Lamp, and High-Beam Assistant indicators
- Active Cruise Control
- Automatic Hold
- Vehicle Detection while in Active Cruise Control
- Standard Cruise Control
- Dynamic Stability Control, which indicates that your traction control system has been activated.
- Temperature Warning Light, which indicates the outside temperature is below 37 degrees and you should beware of dangerous road conditions.
