As you drive along in your Lexus car or SUV, you may occasionally see a light pop up on the dash. Knowing what these lights mean and which ones are most important will be a huge help in keeping your Lexus on the road for years to come, and keeping you safe while you travel from Newburgh to Monroe. Lexus of Orange County is here to help you understand what your vehicle is telling you so know what to expect.
Red Oil Can
If you ever see the red oil can light pop up on your dash while driving, pull over immediately and contact our dealership or a tow service to get your vehicle to our service center. This light means that your oil pressure is low, which could be the result of a number of issues. The results, though, are always damage to your engine as it is not getting enough oil to be properly lubricated.
Maint Req’d
This light means it’s been a while since your last oil change. Oil changes are critical to the life of your Lexus vehicle, so schedule your service appointment with our dealership as soon as possible!
Low Tire Pressure
With changes in weather can come changes in tire pressure, and that is especially true as the temperature drops. And while that can be one reason your low tire pressure light has come on, it could also be the result of a slow leak or a small puncture. If you put air in the tires and the light comes on again or doesn’t turn off after a few miles, you likely have tire damage that needs checking out.
Battery Light
If you see this light, it is important that you schedule a service as soon as possible. A battery warning light means that either your battery or alternator is not working as it should, and either scenario will find you stranded and waiting for a tow truck if left unchecked.
