INFINITI QX50 Dashboard Lights
It’s happened to everyone at least one time in their driving experience: A light illuminates on your dashboard and you’re not sure what it means. At Cerritos INFINITI, we want to educate drivers across Mission Viejo, Orange County, and Cerritos, CA, about the dashboard lights in the INFINITI QX50. Schedule a service appointmenttoday.
Green Lights
Think of the lights on your dashboard like a traffic light. Green means everything is fine, yellow means to be cautious, and red means you should stop driving and get your car inspected.
When it comes to green lights on the dash of your INFINITI QX50, there is nothing to worry about! This just means that there is a system currently operating in your car. Think turn signals and your headlights. These lights can sometimes be blue as well, the most common being the high beam light, which means your high beams are turned on.
Yellow
As stated above, when a yellow light appears on the dashboard of your INFINITI QX50, that means that something is not operating at its best, and you should take care of it soon before it becomes a potentially bigger problem. Some of the most common yellow lights that can pop up are:
- Tire Pressure Warning Light: this dashboard light means that one or more of your tires are low on air and need to be refilled. In many cases, the light can tell you if the tire needs air or is flat and needs to be changed.
- Engine Oil Pressure Light: your engine’s oil pressure is low. We recommend checking your dipstick to check the oil level. If it’s really low, stop driving and give us a call to schedule service.
- Brake Warning Light: this means that your parking brake is still on, or your brake fluid is low, both of which should be addressed ASAP.
- Malfunction Indicator: something is likely wrong with your emissions and should be looked at soon.
Red Lights
When a red light illuminates on the dashboard of your INFINITI QX50, that means something is urgent and needs to be taken care of right away. In some cases, the best thing to do is to pull over, turn the car off, and give us a call for help. Some of the red lights you may see are:
- Master Warning Light: one or more of your vehicle’s advanced systems is faulty, which will be followed by more information on your car’s display screen.
- Seatbelt Warning Light: you or your front passenger does not have their seatbelt on.
- Charge Warning Light: there is a potential problem with your car’s charging system, which might mean your battery is low. If the issue persists, the battery could die, rendering your car inoperable.
