Jeep Wrangler Warning vs Indicator Lights

For starters, let's dive into the difference between warning and indicator lights. Warning lights on your dashboard usually mean that something could be wrong with your vehicle.

Examples of warning lights include:

• Check engine light
• Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
• Low Fuel Warning Light

In the case of a warning light, it will glow yellow or red. On the other hand, indicator lights will show up if a function of your vehicle is engaged.

Examples of indicator lights include:

• Cruise control
• High beam indicator
• Turn signal indicator

Indicator lights will most likely glow yellow or green. In any case, it's always a good idea to cite your owner's manual to ensure that all is well with your Jeep Wrangler, and to know whether you need service.

Now that you know the difference between warning and indicator lights, we're going to cover some of the most common Jeep Wrangler dashboard lights.

Brake Warning Light

On your Jeep Wrangler, this warning light will show BRAKE in bright red. This light monitors various functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application.

No matter the case, it's always a good idea to pull over if you feel unsafe while driving. You can also schedule a brake repair at our service center, and we will address the issue.

Battery Charge Warning Light

If the battery on your Jeep Wrangler isn't charging properly, then you may see the red battery charge warning light. This light looks like a battery pack with a (-) and (+).

This light may warn you that there could be a malfunction with the charging system, especially if it stays on while you are driving. Your battery is a crucial part of your Jeep Wrangler's functionality, so stop by our service center for a battery check if you have any questions.

4WD Indicator Light

If equipped, this indicator light will glow in yellow and show a 4H. This light means that your Jeep Wrangler is in 4-wheel drive mode and is ready to hit the road.

Additionally, this light means that the front and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked together and are forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control Indicator Light

When Adaptive Cruise Control is equipped on your Jeep Wrangler, it will glow green and show a vehicle with lines in front of it. This light means that Adaptive Cruise Control is set and there is no vehicle in front detected.
