Do you know what all these warning lights mean? In your exam, look at the colour first. Red means: act now. Engine too hot, oil pressure or battery? Stop as soon as it is safe. Seat belt off, handbrake on or airbag off? Fix it right away. Orange: something is wrong.

Drive on calmly to a car park or garage. But is the orange light flashing? Then you stop after all! Green or blue? Then something is simply switched on. Exam question: which light means you must stop right away? A! The engine is too hot. Red, so stop.

Know these for your exam! Dipped headlights. Full beam. Fog lights. Rear fog light. Side lights. Coolant. Engine light. Tyre pressure. Cruise control. Oil pressure. Brake system. Battery. Airbag. Seat belt. ABS. Start-stop system. Heated rear window.
