When you're out on the roads in the Odessa, Dover or Middletown areas and a confusing light illuminates on your dash it can be scary and confusing. Keep this handy 2017 Ford Edge dashboard symbols guide nearby so you have a handy reference if you need to quickly understand what an indicator means.
ABS
If there's a malfunction in your ABS system, this light will come on. Usually, unless the brake light is also on, your regular brakes will still work normally, but you should have the problem diagnosed.
Auto Start and Stop
When your auto start/stop function is engaged, this light will come on, letting you know that the engine has shut down normally and will start back up when needed.
Battery Malfunction
If you see this light, it means that your charging system has a malfunction. It could be a bad battery, alternator or another issue. Turn off unnecessary electrical equipment and get your car to a repair dealer for checking.
Blind Spot Monitoring
This light turns on to indicate that your blind spot monitoring system isn't working properly. You should immediately have the issue diagnosed as this is an important safety feature.
Brakes
When you see the brake dash light illuminate, you could simply have an engaged parking brake. If this isn't the case, you could have a malfunction or low fluid levels in your brakes. Don't drive the car in this case; have it towed to a certified repair service.
Cruise Control
This light isn't indicative of a problem; it simply lets you know that your cruise control is currently engaged.
Electric Parking Brake
When you have a malfunction in your electronic parking brake system, this light will come on. You should have the problem checked out immediately to avoid strain on your brakes, tires and wheels.
Engine Coolant
When your car is running hot, this light will come on. Pull over and let the engine cool down before driving further. You should also get to a dealership right away to have this problem checked out.
Engine Oil
If you see this light ignite while the engine is running, you've got a malfunction of some sort with your engine oil. When you can, check your oil levels. If they read as normal, you shouldn't drive the car until you get the issue diagnosed and fixed.
Airbags
This light should illuminate for a few seconds when you start the car, then go off. If it fails to illuminate, stays on or flashes, you have an airbag malfunction. Get it repaired as this is a life-saving safety feature.
Lane Keeping
This light comes on to let you know that your lane-keeping system is active.
Low Fuel
If you see this light, it means simply that you're running out of gas. You should stop to fill up as soon as possible.
