The car symbol was a mystery to most drivers
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.
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. 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.
According to ATS Euromaster, there are a few more car symbols that a lot of drivers seem to be unaware of. It signifies that the brake pads are worn and, depending on the severity, need to be replaced. If the light is blinking, it indicates a more serious problem, and you should take your car to a mechanic to have it checked out.
It can come on in several situations, for example, if the brake fluid has begun leaking, the hydraulic brake circuits are failing, or if the brake pads need replacing.
