What do the lights on my dashboard mean?

Your Ford instrument cluster uses dashboard warning lights and indicators to display vehicle settings or alert you to critical conditions that require attention from a Ford dealer.

Understanding Your Dashboard Indicator Lights

The instrument cluster on your Ford dashboard features warning lamps and indicator symbols. These lights let you easily monitor the condition and control settings of your vehicle. When you start your vehicle, some of these indicators light up as a routine check to confirm they work.

Where to Find More Information

You can find a guide to these warning lamps and indicators by visiting the indicator icon section of our website. You can also find these in your Owner's Manual.

What Different Dashboard Lights Mean

These lights may simply show a vehicle control setting, such as Front Fog Lamps On. However, if certain indicators remain lit while your engine is running, they could warn you about a serious condition.

When to Contact a Professional

If your vehicle displays any warning lamps or indicators that are not shown in either of these resources, or if you have any concerns, please contact your local Ford Dealer.
