People discover what car symbol with thermometer actually means as 80% unsure
16.03.2023 - 12:49 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Those of us who drive will most likely be casting a good glance over the dashboard from time to time, to see if any warning lights have cropped up.
It's important to be aware of what they mean, as sometimes your car will need urgent repairs if there's something seriously wrong. But vehicles can be unpredictable and the lights can illuminate sometimes without much warning at all.
Some of these, like the low fuel symbol, are simple enough to recognise. But others can be more tricky to decipher, and there's one in particular relating to your car's temperature that often leaves drivers confused.
The engine cooling warning light, which looks like a thermometer with wavy lines at the bottom, has many drivers stumped as a survey by ATS Euromaster found that 80 percent of motorists didn't know what it meant.
This warning light warns the engine temperature is getting too high and indicates your car is running low on engine coolant.
Incorrectly identifying this symbol could cause the engine to overheat and do irreparable damage, leading to a new engine costing up to £5,000.
There are a few steps you need to take if this light comes on whilst you're behind the wheel. First, safely pull over to the side of the road and turn off your engine, as letting it run when it's overheating can damage it.
Then let your car cool down, check the coolant level and add some if needed. Be sure to check the owner manual to see what type your vehicle needs.
If adding coolant doesn't fix the problem, the engine may be too damaged to drive. In this case, you'll need to call a tow truck to take the car to a mechanic.
According to ATS Euromaster, there are a few more car symbols that a lot of drivers seem to be unaware of.
