Decoding Your Truck’s Dashboard: Understanding Warning Lights

On Ly Thuong Kiet Street in Hanoi, Vietnam’s bustling “truck street,” a driver struggled with a Hyundai HD99, its dashboard illuminated with warning lights. Understanding these signals is crucial for any truck owner. Let’s decipher these important indicators together.

Truck Warning Lights: An Overview and Classification

Introduction

Dashboard warning lights are a visual communication system, alerting drivers to the operational status of their trucks. Each light, with its unique color and symbol, represents a specific system or component.

“Understanding these warning lights is vital for timely troubleshooting and safe operation,” says Nguyen Van A, chief engineer at Thaco Truong Hai, a leading truck dealership.

Classifying Warning Lights

Warning lights are categorized into four main groups based on color:

• Red Warning Lights: Indicate serious danger, requiring immediate attention. Examples: Brake system, engine oil pressure, engine temperature.
• Yellow/Amber Warning Lights: Signal moderate issues needing prompt attention. Examples: Airbag system, ABS brakes, tire pressure.
• Green/Blue Warning Lights: Indicate a function is active. Examples: Turn signals, high beams.
• White Warning Lights: Indicate driver-assistance features. Examples: Rain sensor, cruise control.
