Questions Learners Have About Dashboard Lights

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Dashboard Lights, including how questions match the official theory exam in Portugal, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What do red dashboard warning lights indicate?

Red dashboard lights indicate a serious or critical problem with your vehicle. You should stop driving as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine, and seek immediate professional assistance.

What action should I take if an amber or yellow warning light illuminates?

Amber or yellow warning lights signal a less urgent but still important issue. While you can usually continue driving to a safe location, you should schedule a service appointment as soon as possible to address the fault. Do not ignore these warnings.

Can I continue driving indefinitely with an amber warning light on?

No, you should not ignore an amber warning light or continue driving indefinitely. Although it may not require an immediate stop like a red light, it indicates a fault that could worsen or affect vehicle performance and safety over time. It requires attention from a mechanic.

What are some common dashboard warning lights covered in this set?

This set covers essential warning lights such as those for the engine (check engine), oil pressure, brake system, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), airbag, battery charging system, coolant temperature, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and low fuel.

How do green and blue dashboard lights differ from red and amber?

Green and blue lights are typically informational indicators, not warnings. They inform you about the status of certain vehicle functions, such as headlights (low beam - green, high beam - blue), turn signals (green), or cruise control (green).
