All three have different meanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Green \u2013 System is fully functional or currently being used<\/li><li>Yellow \u2013 System is not functioning properly; drive carefully to the nearest service provider<\/li><li>Red \u2013 Serious and potentially dangerous problem; stop driving as soon as is safe to do so<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Conveniently, they match traffic lights. Just remember that green means go, yellow means slow, and red means stop. That\u2019s all there is to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Examples of Warning Lights by Color<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/08\/23111528\/Battery-inspection-B_b.jpg\" alt=\"a man inspecting the battery of a car\" class=\"wp-image-11697 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/08\/23111528\/Battery-inspection-B_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/08\/23111528\/Battery-inspection-B_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Most of the warning lights in your dashboard will be yellow in color.

All of these inform you that there are problems to be monitored, but don\u2019t necessarily mean that you need to pull over <em>right now<\/em>. Red lights, such as the SRS light, battery charge light, low engine oil light, overheating light, and brake fluid light, mean pull over immediately and call roadside assistance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/mercedes-benz-roadside-assistance\">Download the Roadside Assistance App on Your Phone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Save on a Mercedes-Benz Vehicle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about getting a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, no matter the model, then make sure to head over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/special-offers-scottsdale-az\">National Offers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/used-car-sales-scottsdale-az\">Manager\u2019s Specials<\/a> pages.
