Dashboard warning lights are your vehicle’s way of telling you something’s wrong — and in the heat of a Georgia summer, ignoring them can lead to expensive repairs, breakdowns, or worse, engine failure.
At Stephens Automotive Group, we want to help you stay safe and stay moving, especially when temperatures are climbing. Here’s a quick guide to 5 warning lights that demand immediate attention.
1. Check Engine Light (Flashing or Solid)
This is the big one. A flashing check engine light can indicate misfires or overheating — both extremely dangerous if ignored in summer conditions.
2. Temperature Warning Light
This means your engine is overheating. Stop driving immediately and call for service. Summer heat + low coolant = blown head gasket.
3. Battery Alert Light
Hot weather shortens battery life. If this light comes on, you could lose power at any moment. We’ll test your battery in minutes.
4. Oil Pressure Warning Light
Low oil pressure in high heat can destroy your engine. This isn’t just about topping off your oil — it’s about checking the root cause.
5. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Tire blowouts spike in hot weather. Under- or over-inflated tires are a serious safety risk, especially on long drives.
If any of these lights come on, the best thing you can do is visit Stephens Automotive Group immediately. Our certified techs will run a full diagnostic scan, explain everything in plain English, and get you back on the road with peace of mind.
