BMW Dash Warning Lights Meaning

There are many BMW warning lights, and it’s crucial to know the correct BMW warning light meaning so you can take the appropriate action. Some BMW warning lights symbols mean that you need immediate service, while others are things you can likely do yourself, like add air to a tire or refuel. Learn the BMW warning lights symbols below:

• Empty or Low Fuel: When this symbol is on, you have approximately 30 miles before you run out of gas. So, you had better stop by the nearest Livingston gas station and fill up!
• Tire Pressure Monitor: If this BMW dashboard warning light is on, itmeans that one or more of your tires’ PSI is incorrect. A yellow light signals that the tire pressure is down by about 10%, and a red warning light means the tire has rapidly deflated and is probably flat.
• Oil Can: When you see this symbol, it means you need an oil change. Review our service specials to see if you can save some money. 
• Light Bulb: A lightbulb symbol means one or more external lights are out. 
• Thermometer: This BMW dash warning light meansyour engine is running too hot and might be overheating. This can be potentially dangerous and could even damage your engine. If you aren’t near a BMW service center like the one at BMW of Springfield near Maplewood , we recommend calling a tow truck or, at the very least, letting it cool down before driving again. 
• Engine: When this BMW warning light flashes or stays on, you must have your vehicle serviced immediately!!
• Dynamic Stability Control: This light isn’t a BMW dashboard warning light as much as a notification. It shows that the traction control system is engaged during your drives around Morristown. You can learn more about it in your owner’s manual
• Service Vehicle: If this BMW dash warning light symbol is yellow, it means your BMW is due for routine service soon. The light will turn red if your BMW is past due for service.
