While most adults have driven a car, not all of us have the time to become automotive experts. This lack of expertise is especially apparent when we're casually driving along and suddenly notice a warning light in our vehicle's dash display. More often than not, it's the first time that light has lit up, and we have no idea what it means. Seidel Hyundai is here to explain what those lights mean. Schedule a service appointment to make that troublesome glow go away!  

Common Hyundai Warning Lights

No one wants to see something light up on their dashboard. Nevertheless, it helps to know what that light source is trying to tell you! Here are explanations for some of the most common Hyundai warning lights.   

 

Check Engine Light

The first on our list is the check engine light. While this light may seem scary, more often than not it is signaling a minor engine issue, not a catastrophe. Regardless, if this light appears it's important you schedule a service appointment as quickly as possible.  		 
 
 
 
 
 

Tire Pressure Light

Easily one of the most common lights you'll see, the tire pressure light lets you know that one or more of your tires could use more air. While generally not an immediate emergency, if you see this light lit up, you should stop at a gas station air pump to top off on air. Keeping a tire gauge in your glovebox is a good way to make sure your tires are up to par under your car. Still won't go away? You could have an air leak and should schedule a service appointment to get it checked out.  
 
 

Maintenance Light

This friendly little wrench-shaped light signifies that your Hyundai vehicle is due for routine maintenance like an oil change or tire rotation. If you see this light come on, contact our service center in Reading, PA and let our technicians know. They'll know exactly what to do.  		 
 
 
 
 
 

ABS Light

ABS stands for anti-lock brake system and is a critical system required to operate your vehicle safely. If this light comes on it means your ABS is malfunctioning and needs immediate repairs. 

 
     
 

SRS Warning Light

If this light appears it means that there is a problem or malfunction with your vehicle's airbags. While it won't affect your vehicle's ability to run properly, it is important for safety, and if not taken care of immediately the consequences could come to light in the event of an accident.  


 
 
 
 
 
 

Charging System Light in Hybrid Vehicles

This light signals a problem with your vehicle's charging system. It is recommended that you drive as little as possible and schedule a service appointment immediately.
