It is very important for novice drivers to learn to read the dashboard. Always pay attention to the pointer on the dashboard and pay attention to the icons displayed on the dashboard at all times. Whenever you see a red light on the dashboard, stop the car as soon as possible and turn off the engine for inspection.

Of course, when such a situation occurs, a red oil bottle and water wave logo will be displayed on the instrument panel. In this case, stop the vehicle immediately and turn off the engine. If a new driver does not understand the situation and continues to drive forward, big problems will occur and the engine will be damaged.
