What do the lights on my dashboard mean?

The instrument cluster located on your vehicle’s dashboard is equipped with warning lamps and indicators that allow you to easily monitor your vehicle’s condition and control settings.

Upon starting your vehicle, you may see some of these indicators light up as a routine check to verify functionality. These lights may simply be indicating a vehicle control setting, e.g., Front Fog Lamps On. If certain indicators remain illuminated while your engine is running, however, they could be alerting you to a serious condition.

You can find a guide to these warning lamps and indicators.

You can also find these in your vehicle's Owner's Manual. Please select your Model Year and Vehicle from the drop downs below, or visit owner's manual

Should your vehicle display any warning lamps or indicators that are not shown via either of these methods or if you have any concerns whatsoever, please contact your local Ford Dealer.
