Welcome to Your Renault Dashboard Guide!

Renault Check Engine Warning Light

Renault Coolant Temperature Warning Light

The Temperature Warning light indicates that the engine temperature is too high (in red) or too low (in blue). If the light is red, stop the vehicle and turn off the engine as quickly as possible. Turning on the heater to the highest setting can help remove some of the heat. If the light is blue, it means the coolant temperature is below what is needed for optimum performance. If the light blinks red then blue, it indicates an electrical malfunction in the cooling system. In any case, have the issue checked by a professional as soon as possible. Do not continue driving if the light is red to avoid engine damage.

Renault Immobilizer Warning Light

The immobilizer warning light indicates that the vehicle's anti-theft system is active and has detected an issue, typically due to the vehicle not recognizing the key, the wrong key being used, or a weak key battery, and to resolve this, check the key and battery, and if necessary, use a diagnostic tool to identify any underlying issues.

Renault Ice Warning Light

The ice warning light indicates that roads may become slippery due to low temperatures. If the light turns red, it means the temperature has dropped to or below freezing point, so drive more cautiously. If seen with Snow Mode, this symbol signifies adjusted vehicle settings for improved traction in snowy conditions.

It indicates that one or more of your tires are severely under- or overinflated. You should stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so and check the tire pressure at each wheel. Refill the tire to the correct pressure rating if necessary. Start the car and see if the warning light goes off after a few minutes. If it doesn't, there could be damage to the tire causing a rapid leak. Check the tire for damage and consider seeking professional help. If the issue persists, it is crucial to have it inspected by a mechanic. Ensure your safety by addressing the issue promptly.

The vehicle should be taken to a dealer or authorized service center as soon as possible.

Renault Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light

The seatbelt warning light, symbolized by a picture of a passenger with a band across them in front of a red light, indicates that a passenger has not correctly fastened their seatbelt. Check if any luggage or shopping is on the seat, as this can trigger the warning due to the weight detection system. Remove any items from the seat or fasten the seatbelt around them to resolve the issue.
