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 Spain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the main difference between red and yellow dashboard warning lights?

Red warning lights indicate a serious problem that requires immediate attention and often means you should stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Yellow or orange lights suggest a fault or condition that needs checking soon, but typically doesn't require an immediate stop.

What should I do if a red warning light appears while driving in Spain?

If a red warning light illuminates, it generally signals a critical issue. You should safely pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as possible, turn off the engine, and consult your vehicle manual or roadside assistance. Continuing to drive could cause severe damage or be dangerous.

Which specific red lights are most important to know for the DGT exam?

For the Spanish driving theory exam, it's crucial to know the red warning lights for engine oil pressure (often an 'oil can' icon), engine temperature (a 'thermometer' icon), brake system warning (an 'exclamation mark' in a circle), and battery not charging (a 'battery' icon).

Does the brake warning light always mean an emergency?

The brake warning light (an exclamation mark in a circle) can indicate two things. If it's on while driving, it might mean the handbrake is engaged, or it could signal a serious issue like low brake fluid, which requires immediate attention and stopping safely.

Can I continue driving with a yellow dashboard warning light on?

Generally, you can continue driving for a short period with a yellow warning light on, but you should have the issue checked by a mechanic as soon as possible. These lights indicate a fault or system malfunction that isn't immediately critical but shouldn't be ignored.
