Jeep Cherokee Dashboard Light Guide

Every vehicle on the road has a series of dashboard indicator lights, and the Jeep Cherokee is no different. These dashboard lights are a vehicle's way of communicating with drivers, often important information with simple symbols.

In an effort to help drivers from around Philadelphia, Center City, Delaware County, and South Jersey understand the various dashboard symbol meanings, our knowledgeable staff at Matt Blatt Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram compiled a helpful guide. Read on to learn all about the dashboard lights, warning lights, and dashboard symbols in your Jeep Cherokee.

Red Warning Lights

Your Jeep Cherokee groups dashboard warning lights in different colors. Dashboard lights that appear in red often relate to symbols that demand your immediate attention. Some notable red dashboard lights are as follows:

• Brake Warning Light: Displayed as the word BRAKE on your dashboard, this can appear for different reasons. Mostly commonly, the Brake Warning Light indicates that your parking brake is engaged. It also appears when your Jeep Cherokee needs a brake fluid refill.
• Battery Charge Warning Light: This warning light looks like a rectangle with a - and + symbol inside of it. The Battery Charge Warning Light indicates that the vehicle's battery isn't charging correctly.
• Oil Pressure Warning Light: When the Oil Pressure Warning Light appears, your vehicle has low oil pressure and should not be driven until it's corrected. This warning light looks like a gravy boat with a droplet below its spout. If you see it while driving, stop your engine immediately.

Yellow Warning Lights

Many common dashboard lights are illuminated in yellow. Generally, these dashboard symbols serve to notify drivers of non-critical issues that should be addressed shortly.

Examples of yellow dashboard lights in the Jeep Cherokee include:

• Low Fuel Warning Light: Indicated by a symbol that looks like a gas fuel pump, this warning light appears when the vehicle's fuel level is down below two gallons.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Light: This dashboard light appears when the vehicle's tires have a lower-than-recommended pressure level. Best described as an exclamation point inside of a broken circle, this light indicates that one or more of your tires needs attention.
• Speed Control Fault Warning Light: The Speed Control Fault Warning Light notifies drivers that the Speed Control System in the Jeep Cherokee is malfunctioning. If you see a dashboard symbol that looks like a speedometer with an exclamation point next to it, contact an authorized Jeep dealer.
