Fer Wicker

When initially starting your vehicle, these lights will illuminate, and some lights may remain on for a short while. Some warning lights may indicate a potentially serious issue with the vehicle, see below for further information. Pull over and stop the vehicle when safe to do so. Turn the engine off and start again, if the same warning light remains on contact On Road Care immediately and do not drive the vehicle further.

	Charging System This light will illuminate if the battery is not charging correctly. Contact On Road Care
	Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) If the ABS light stays on, or comes on again while driving, the vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system warning light is not on, the vehicle still has brakes, but not antilock brakes. Contact On Road Care.
	Service Engine Soon If the light remains on and does not flash this indicates there may be a problem with the emission system and needs to be checked when your vehicle is returned. Also check the fuel cap is tight. It is OK to continue driving in this situation, inform the branch of the issue on your return. If the light flashes there is a serious problem with the vehicle, STOP when safe to do so and contact On Road Care.
	Parking Brake & Brake System Warning If these lights remain on when the engine is running the parking brake may still be applied. Check the parking brake is fully released. If the parking brake is fully released contact On Road Care as this may indicate a brake issue.
	Tire Pressure This light indicates that one or more of the tires are under-inflated. Stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires.
	Cruise Control If cruise control is available on your vehicle this light illuminates when cruise control is set. Controls for cruise control are on the left hand side of the steering wheel if available.
	Engine Oil Pressure If the light comes on and stays on, it means that oil is not flowing through the engine properly. The vehicle could be low on oil. STOP when safe to do so, check the oil level using the dipstick and refill if necessary. If the oil is very low or the light stays on after the oil has been refilled, contact On Road Care.
	Traction Control System (TCS)/StabiliTrak If the light is on and flashing, the system is actively working to control the vehicle. If the light is on and not flashing, the vehicle may require service to correct. We recommend to turn the vehicle off for 15 seconds to see if this turns the light off. If not Contact On Road Care.
	Low Fuel Warning The low fuel warning light comes on and a chime sounds when the vehicle is low on fuel. We recommend refueling if there is less than ¼ tank of gas remaining.
	Airbag Readiness This light shows if there is an electrical problem with the airbag system. Contact On Road Care
	Seat Belt When the vehicle is started this light flashes and a chime may come on to remind you to fasten your seat belt.
