Dashboard Warning Light Survival Guide

Dashboard Warning Light Survival Guide

A dashboard warning light appearing unexpectedly can be worrying — especially when you don't know whether it's safe to keep driving.

The Motor Toolkit Dashboard Warning Light Survival Guide gives you a simple, easy-to-follow explanation of the most common dashboard warning lights and, more importantly, helps you understand what you should do next.

• What you can safely check yourself
• Signs that mean you should stop driving
• Common possible causes
• When you should contact a garage
