A warning light on your Land Rover or Range Rover dashboard can feel stressful, but it’s really your vehicle’s way of giving you a clear message. Some lights are simple reminders, while others are telling you to stop driving and get help. A good rule: red usually means “act now,” amber means “use caution and schedule service,” and green or blue usually means a feature is on. Let Land Rover Roaring Fork help you out.
Red Warning Lights: Stop or Act Fast
If a red light stays on while driving, take it seriously. A low oil pressure light can mean the engine is not getting proper lubrication, so you should pull over safely and shut the engine off. An engine temperature light means the vehicle is overheating: stop driving, let it cool, and arrange service if needed.
A brake warning light may point to low brake fluid or a braking system issue, so it’s best to stop driving and have it inspected. A battery/charging warning can mean the charging system is failing; you may be able to drive briefly, but get it checked quickly to avoid a no-start.
Amber Warning Lights: Caution and Schedule Service
Amber lights usually mean you can keep driving carefully, but you should address the issue soon. A check engine light can signal an emissions or engine-related problem. An ABS light typically means anti-lock braking help may be limited, even if normal braking still works. A traction/stability light may flash when the system is actively helping; if it stays on, it may need service. A tire pressure light (TPMS) often means one or more tires are low and should be checked and inflated to the correct pressure.
Green/Blue Lights: Information
These usually confirm something is active, like high beams, cruise control, lane assist, or other driver aids.
