The indicator lights on a 2006 Jeep Liberty serve to alert the driver about various vehicle conditions and systems. Common lights include the check engine light, which signals issues with the engine or emissions system, and the oil pressure light, indicating low oil pressure.

It's essential to consult the owner's manual for specific meanings and recommended actions for each indicator light.
