Decoding Your Yugo's Dashboard Signals

Your Yugo's dashboard is its way of communicating with you. From routine maintenance reminders to urgent alerts, we'll help you understand what each light means and how to respond. Let's dive into the world of Yugo dashboard warning lights!

	Yugo Low Fuel Warning Light The low-fuel warning light features the icon of a fuel pump. This indicates that your fuel level is low and you need to refill as soon as possible. The arrow alongside this icon shows which side of the car the fuel filler cap is located.
	Yugo Electronic Stability Control Warning Light The electronic stability control (ESC) warning light, indicated by an orange/yellow symbol of a car with swirls below, typically means the ESC system has intervened to restore vehicle stability. If you hear an audio alarm along with this light, it's likely the system is actively correcting traction. However, if the light remains on without any traction issues, it indicates a fault within the ESC system. In such cases, you should seek assistance from a trained mechanic or a dealership.
	Yugo Oil Change Reminder Warning Light The red oil light on your dashboard indicates a critical issue with your engine's oil pressure, which can cause severe damage if not addressed promptly. If this light appears, pull over safely and turn off the engine. You need to check the oil level and condition immediately to prevent engine damage. Protect your vehicle from expensive repairs by addressing this issue without delay.
	Yugo Electronic Throttle Control Warning Light The electronic throttle control warning light, indicated by a lightning symbol between two bent lines, signals a potential issue with your vehicle's throttle control system.

When the light comes on, stop and check the tire pressure of all four tires, adjusting as needed according to the manufacturer's specifications. If the light flashes for a minute and then stays on, it signals a problem with the TPMS system itself. In this case, the system should be serviced to identify and fix the issue.
	Yugo Electric Parking Brake Warning Light The Electric Park Brake (EPB) Malfunction Indicator symbol is displayed when there is an issue with the parking brake system. If the light remains on or flashes after the parking brake is released, it indicates a problem. The parking brake may not be functioning correctly. If the light continues to flash or stay on while driving, you should have your vehicle checked at a service center as soon as possible. The system should be inspected and repaired to ensure safe operation.
	Yugo Airbag Warning Light The airbag warning light indicates a problem with your airbag or seatbelt system. Here’s what to do: 1. The light turns on for 7 seconds when the ignition is switched on, then it should turn off. If it stays on or flashes, the system needs servicing. 2. If the light remains on, flashes intermittently, or does not come on at all, have your vehicle checked. 3. Visit a Nissan dealer for this service. 4. The airbag and seatbelt pretensioner systems may not function properly if the light is on or flashing. 5. It is crucial to have the system checked and repaired. 6. Failure to do so may compromise safety in the event of an accident. 7. Prompt servicing is necessary to ensure the airbag and seatbelt systems work correctly.

In any case, using an OBD-II scanner to diagnose the issue and possibly visiting a car service for repair is recommended.
	Yugo Front Fog Indicator Light If you see a symbol on your dashboard that looks like a semicircle next to a group of wavy lines, it indicates that your fog lamps are turned on.

You should stop driving the car as quickly as possible because it is a red light. This issue often occurs when the alternator fails or the wires connecting it to the battery come loose. Driving with a nearly empty battery could lead to a serious accident due to the potential loss of vital systems.
