If you see the Temperature Light or Oil Pressure Light, what is the recommended action?

When the Temperature Light or Oil Pressure Light activates in a vehicle, it indicates a serious issue that could jeopardize the engine's health. The correct action is to pull over and stop safely. This response is crucial because continuing to drive under these conditions can lead to engine overheating or oil pressure loss, potentially resulting in severe damage or a complete breakdown.

By stopping safely, the driver can minimize the risk of further damage to the vehicle. Once stopped, it is advisable to assess the situation—checking fluid levels or calling for assistance as necessary. This action prioritizes both the driver's safety and the vehicle's mechanical integrity.
