Genesis Dashboard Lights Explained
Some warning lights are more urgent than others. For example, while the Check Engine Light requires a prompt response, other lights, such as the LKAS Indicator, simply inform you that a specific system is active during your trip to Pearland/Friendswood. Decipher some of the common Genesis dashboard lights below:
- Airbag Warning Light: If the warning light depicting an inflated airbag illuminates and remains on, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is not functioning correctly. Visit the service center for an inspection as soon as possible.
- Seatbelt Warning Light: The warning light indicating a seatbelted passenger serves as a reminder to fasten your seatbelt.
- Parking Brake And Brake Fluid Warning Light: Typically, the “BRAKE” dashboard light indicates the parking brake is engaged. If the light remains lit after releasing the parking brake, the brake fluid level may be low; schedule service promptly.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) (Check Engine Light): Part of the Engine Control System, this light illuminates when a potential malfunction occurs in the emission control system. If this light comes on and remains illuminated after starting the engine or while driving, schedule service immediately.
- Charging System Warning Light: The battery icon indicates an issue with the generator or charging system. If this light comes on and remains illuminated, do not delay having the vehicle inspected.
- Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light: An illuminated oil can icon indicates low engine oil pressure. If this light comes on, check the oil level with the engine off and completely cool. If the oil level is low, top it off with the correct oil for your model. If the light remains on after adding oil, or if you are not comfortable adding it yourself, schedule service immediately.
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) Warning Light: The AEB indicator light signals that the system is turned off or the radar sensor is blocked. Turn the system on or clean the radar sensor to ensure AEB can assist you during your drives.
- Master Warning Light: The Master Warning Light indicates a malfunction within the pre-active seatbelt, low washer, electronic control suspension, or advanced smart cruise control. Check the LCD display to view the warning details.
- Lane Keeping Assistant System (LKAS) Indicator: When you press the LKAS button to turn the system on, the LKAS indicator (a car on a road with two arrows facing each other) illuminates to confirm the system’s activation.
