Other Warning Lights
In addition to the "Check Engine" light, there are a number of other warning lights that may come on your car's dashboard. These lights are designed to alert you to potential problems with your car, and it is important to take action as soon as possible if you see one of them.
Some common warning lights include:

* The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) light indicates that there is a problem with the airbag system. This system is designed to protect you in the event of a crash, and it is important to have it repaired if the light is on.
* The Battery light indicates that there is a problem with the charging system. This system is responsible for keeping the battery charged, and it is important to have it repaired if the light is on.
* The Coolant Temperature light indicates that the engine is overheating. This can be caused by a number of problems, including a low coolant level or a faulty thermostat. It is important to pull over and allow the engine to cool down if the light is on.
* The Oil Pressure light indicates that the oil pressure is low. This can be caused by a number of problems, including a low oil level or a faulty oil pump. It is important to check the oil level and have the oil pressure checked if the light is on.
If you see any of these warning lights, it is important to take action as soon as possible to protect yourself and your car.
