At Fox Subaru, our service center is here to provide those in Grand Rapids and areas like Lowell, Kalamazoo, and Zeeland the chance to get their maintenance needs covered. We're here to assist you with all sorts of service and this includes helping you understand your vehicle warning lights, and knowing which ones require service to be completed right away. That's why we've highlighted ones that you should pay attention to!
- Check Engine Light: this is certainly among the most important as you'll see either an engine icon or a "check engine" display on your instrument cluster. This can mean many things and might be a minor issue that needs direct attention, but you shouldn't leave it up to chance and make sure to get to our dealership as there could be an issue with the emissions, fuel system, or any other engine problem.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light: if you see an oil can light come on, this means your oil pressure is low, or there is a leak or malfunction. The best thing to do is pull over and turn off the vehicle and check your oil levels, which you can do from the dipstick in your vehicle, and get in touch with us to make sure you get an appointment for a diagnosis.
- Brake System Warning Light: when you see an exclamation point in a circle, this is the brake warning light which could mean you have an ABS system issue, low brake fluid, or worn brake pads. Getting this checked out is a must because brakes are obviously important on your daily drive and you want to make sure your vehicle is safe for you and others to drive.
- Battery Charge Warning Light: this warning light looks like a car battery, and means there are car battery issues. It could be about power loss, the charging system not working, or loose or faulty parts. You should bring this in to have it checked because you don't want to be left out on the road with a dead battery. If you see this warning light you should make sure you can get to a safe destination and check battery levels or get roadside assistance if necessary.
We're able to help you and can diagnose these issues via our Express Subaru Service here in Grand Rapids. To begin, come see us especially when you have vehicle warning lights on so we can help you!
