Q: BMW E46: What do the warning lights mean on the dash?
Battery Charge Indicator
This means the battery is not being
charged. Check the alternator, V Belts and charging circuit
Engine Oil Pressure
If this light comes on red stop your engine straight away! Top up the oil if it is low. If it is correct then take to your nearest garage to get it checked out.
When you turn your car off, if the light comes on amber then it means the oil is running low, ensure you check the level of oil. If correct it could be a faulty oil level sensor.
Tyre Pressure Control
This light will come on with an audio signal too. It indicated a drop in pressure on one of the tyres. Avoid hard braking and pull over at the soonest opportunity.
Brake Indicator
If this light coms on when driving, stop straight away (in a safe place) and check the brake fluid levels. Avoid hard braking situations. If the levels are ok take your car to the closest garage.
