What Do Lexus Dashboard Warning Lights and Symbols Mean?
While you are in the process of getting used to your new Lexus or if you are trying to learn how to drive a Lexus car, it is very important that you learn about the technical and mechanical aspects of the car, so that you may operate it safely and competently. The last thing that you would want is an accident caused by your lack of knowledge of and familiarity with the vehicle.
We at Lexus would like to tell you about what the Lexus dashboard warning lights and symbols mean, so that you may properly operate your vehicle. Here are some of the most important warning lights and symbols that you must be familiar with.
Parking Brake Indicator
If your parking brake indicator starts to flash or light up, this means that your parking brake is not in a state of total engagement or a state of total release. To fix this issue, use the parking brake switch one more time in order to totally engage the brake switch off or on, in the appropriate direction. If the parking brake indicator light gets turned off when your parking brake is in a state of total release, your parking system is functioning as it should be.
Brake System Warning Light
In the event that the brake system warning light flashes on (or if a buzzer starts to go off), bring the vehicle to a total halt as soon as possible in an area that is reasonably safe and secure. Make sure that your parking brake has been totally released, even when the system is giving the impression that it is operating as it should. The next thing to do is to check on the brake fluid levels. If the levels of brake fluid are ample, there is a possibility of a brake booster system malfunction. In such a situation, it is very important that you send your Lexus vehicle to a Lexus dealer for an immediate inspection.
Charging System Warning Light
The vehicle’s charging system warning light serves to indicate that something is not functioning as it should in the charging system of the vehicle. If this light goes off, bring your vehicle to a total stop as soon as possible in a safe and secure location. Then, reach out to your Lexus dealer. This particular warning light might indicate that the vehicle has been damaged, which could cause an accident.
Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder
This seat belt reminder buzzer or light serves to remind you, the driver, to put on your seat belt. If you want the buzzer and/or light to be turned off, fasten your seat belt.
Front Passenger’s Seat Belt Reminder
