It means you left the second gear start switch on.
You change the position of the switch to change between normal (light is off) and second gear start (light is on). Turn the switch off, and the light will go off.
If you didn't know there was a switch, look for it. I have seen it on the lower left side if the dash (sometimes it just says SGS or 2GS), the center console, as a push-on-push-off button on the shift lever, and as a slide switch on the column shift handle.
On a few European cars, moving the shift lever into specified gear positions in sequence while the car is stopped turns second gear start on or off.
depending on what your driving one eighth of a tank is left in the tank when your indicator light comes on
It is the powertrain/4x4/AWD malfunction indicator. It is the second indicator light covered in your owners manual if you have one.
All of the indicator lights come on for a few moments immediately after you turn the key to the start position. After that, if the oil indicator comes on stop driving the car until the cause is found. The oil indicator light means the engine is not getting enough oil either because the oil level is too low or the oil pump has stopped working. In either case, it's a serious problem and operating the engine under these conditions can destroy the it.
The eco light in a 2012 Kia Sorento serves as an indicator for optimal fuel efficiency. When the light is illuminated, it suggests that the vehicle is operating in a manner that promotes better fuel economy, encouraging the driver to maintain efficient driving habits. If the light is off, it indicates that driving conditions or habits may not be as fuel-efficient. Essentially, it helps drivers be more conscious of their driving style for improved gas mileage.
If the ABS and brake light are coming on while driving, this is an indicator that it is time to get your brakes checked and replaced. If not, the brakes will wear out causing you to not be able to stop.
The VTM-4 indicator light in a 2003 Acura MDX signifies that the Vehicle Traction Management system is engaged, which helps improve traction when driving in slippery conditions. If the light remains on or flashes, it may indicate an issue with the system that could require attention. It's advisable to consult the vehicle's owner's manual or a professional mechanic for further diagnostics if the light persists.
The ECT PWR indicator light, commonly found in vehicles, indicates that the engine's Electronic Control Transmission (ECT) is in Power mode. When this light is illuminated, it signifies that the transmission is optimizing performance for acceleration and responsiveness, often enhancing power delivery during driving. This mode is typically used for situations requiring more power, such as overtaking or driving uphill. When the indicator is off, the vehicle may be in a more fuel-efficient or standard driving mode.
Eco light is an indicator that you are driving optimally for best fuel economy.
indicator stalk problem, fit a new or good second hand one to cure
Second gear start was a feature on a few GM car models in the mid 90's. When engaged, the car will start off in second gear instead of first. This is why the car is slower while turned on. There is much less torque output starting out in second gear, providing improved traction while driving in icy and snowy conditions. There is a button or switch somewhere that turns it on and off.
The answer is: Apply hazard warning lights and walk around the car to check that each light is working.
Hold down the tire indicator button for about 10 seconds while driving. That is located under the Hand Brake.
