All warning lights

Low coolant level

Drive carefully

What it means

The coolant level in the expansion tank is too low.

What to do

Stop safely, let the engine cool and top up with the correct coolant. If it drops again, have the cooling system checked before driving further.

This is general guidance. Symbols differ between manufacturers, so check your owner's manual, and have a red warning light looked at before you drive on.
