At Land Rover Southwest Houston, we are here to walk you through the various warning lights you might see in your luxury SUV and what each means for your vehicle. From regular alerts to potential component issues, your Range Rover, Discovery, or Defender SUV is designed to keep you aware, and we can help you make sense of any indicator your vehicle throws your way.

- Check Engine Light: this yellow engine outline appears when there is an engine issue. Schedule an appointment at our service center when you can
- ABS Alert: this yellow circle with the letters “ABS” shows up when your anti-lock braking system is impacted. ABS is disabled, so an inspection is recommended

- Suspension Alert: a yellow vehicle icon with arrows or “suspension” icon appears when air suspension is impacted
Red Alerts: Immediate Service
- Engine Temperature Warning: this alert appears as a red thermometer icon with waves. Your engine is overheating, and immediate service is needed. Stop your vehicle and get in touch for assistance
- Brake System Warning: red circle with “!” or “BRAKE” appears when your braking system has low fluid or is malfunctioning

If you notice any red icons, it is best to stop your vehicle and seek assistance.

You may need a regular oil change, tire service, or brake service.
