Cadillac is known for its incredible performance and bringing class and style to the road. If you own a Cadillac it can be especially helpful to understand what the dash symbols mean. This way, if there's an issue with your vehicle you can address it efficiently. Our Cadillac dealership offers this handy guide on Cadillac dash symbols so you can always stay in the know.
Brake System Warning Light
The brakes of your Cadillac have a hydraulic brake system that is divided into two parts. In the case one part is not functioning properly, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
Airbag Readiness Light
On the instrument panel cluster, you will find an airbag readiness light which presents the airbag symbol. This feature checks the airbag’s electrical system for malfunctions and includes the airbag sensor, the pretensioners, the airbag modules, diagnostic module, the wiring and the crash sensing.
In the case the airbag readiness light stays on after you start the vehicle or appears when you are driving, your airbags may not be working properly. When this happens it's best to have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
Check Engine Light
If there are issues with your engine, the check engine light of your Cadillac will appear. This light signals that a range of problems may be the culprit of your car troubles, including engine failure. Other issues may include a loose gas cap, damaged mass airflow sensor, a faulty spark plug, along with other potential issues.
Tire Pressure Light
When the tire pressure light is solid, this indicates one or multiple of your tires are underinflated. However, when the light flashes first and then is solid, this indicates that there may be a problem with the tire pressure monitor system. Either way, it's a good idea to check your tire pressure as soon as you get the chance.
