Look for serious issues that require immediate attention

• Pay attention to your dashboard gauges and lights for further indication of what might be happening to your vehicle such as low oil pressure or overheating. If you notice these, it’s important that you pull over, shut your vehicle off as soon as there is a safe place to do so. On some vehicles, a yellow check engine light indicates you want to investigate. Red lights mean stop right now and seek help.
