Chevrolet Dashboard Symbols and Meanings

Navigating the Chevrolet dashboard symbols and meanings can feel like deciphering a secret code. However, understanding these symbols when they become illuminated is necessary for maintaining your vehicle’s health and safety. At Casey Chevrolet, our friendly technicians are here to demystify the Chevrolet dashboard symbols and their meanings.

Check Engine Light

Perhaps the most commonly seen of all dashboard systems, the check engine light can indicate a wide range of issues, from something as minor as a loose gas cap to more pressing engine issues. If this light is illuminated, tighten the gas cap and have your vehicle inspected by a qualified technician at Casey Chevrolet as soon as possible if that step doesn’t solve the problem.

Oil Pressure Warning

This symbol resembles an oil can with a drop of oil coming out of it. When it is turned on, it indicates low oil pressure, which can lead to engine damage if not addressed promptly. Pull over safely and check your oil level. If it’s low, top it up immediately. If the light stays on after this, schedule an appointment with us.

Battery Warning

This symbol, which typically resembles a battery or a charging system, indicates a problem with the vehicle’s charging system. It could be a failing battery, faulty alternator, or loose connections.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning

This warning is usually depicted as an exclamation point inside a tire, indicating low tire pressure. Proper tire pressure is essential for safe driving and fuel efficiency, so stop by our dealership for a tire fill-up if you notice this light is turned on.
