What to do when the vehicle's water temperature gauge rises to the H mark? Stop the vehicle and don't turn off the engine

There are various indicators on the dashboard of a car. Do you know what these indicators represent? Generally, these indicator lights are not on. If one of the indicator lights turns on during driving, the vehicle may have faults or fault precursors. In particular, the following five indicator lights are found to be on. Once found to be on, please stop and check immediately to prevent major faults and accidents.

1 Brake system fault indicator

Once it is found that the brake system fault indicator light is on, stop the vehicle in a timely manner and check whether the handbrake is released. If it is confirmed that the handbrake has been fully released, it is possible that the brake oil has been used up or the brake pads have been severely worn. If you continue to drive, it is very easy to cause traffic accidents due to inability to stop. At this point, you should call for assistance, and then continue driving after the repair is completed.

2 Tire pressure warning lamp

If this light comes on, it indicates that the vehicle has insufficient tire pressure and should be filled with air in a timely manner. When driving on highways, you should appropriately slow down and pay attention to driving, because in the event of a tire blowout, the hazards of low speed driving are far lower than those of high speed driving.

3 ABS warning lamp

The ABS warning light will briefly light up after starting. If it remains on after driving for a period of time, it indicates that the ABS system is malfunctioning, which means there may be a problem with the braking system. Don't continue driving at this time. If you can't brake, your car will really be destroyed.

4 Water temperature alarm lamp

When this light comes on, either the water temperature is too high or too low, especially when the water temperature is too high, if you don't pay attention and continue driving for a long distance, it can easily lead to serious failures such as cylinder deformation, water leakage in the engine's internal waterways, and water tank boiling. At this point, the engine really crashed.

5 Steering assist warning lamp

If this indicator light comes on, it indicates that there is a problem with the power steering system. If you continue to drive, when the steering assistance is reduced or completely unavailable, it can be very dangerous when the vehicle needs to turn.
