Ignoring a warning light on your dashboard can risk your safety and the safety of others. It can lead to a serious mechanical damage, or even a traffic accident if your vehicle fails whilst driving.
Therefore, it is important to respond if a warning light start flashing up at the earliest opportunity.

It is also important to study your vehicle’s handbook which includes information about the meaning of the warning lights.
