Jaguar Warning Lights
Different types of Jaguar Warning lights
Jaguar warning lights can be broken down into three types of lights - red, amber and green.
- Red lights signal a serious issue, and you should stop driving as soon as you can to investigate.
- Amber lights signal that some form of action is needed, such as an oil top up.
- Green lights are just advisory. No action is needed for green lights.

What do the Warning Lights mean?
Battery
When you turn on your vehicle’s ignition, the 12v battery charge light should come on to indicate that the bulb is working, and once the engine has started this will stop. However, if the light stays illuminated or it comes on suddenly while you’re driving, then there could be a fault with the battery.
Low oil pressure
If your low oil pressure indicator illuminates or begin to flash, stop driving as soon as you safely can, making sure you turn off the engine completely after you’ve stopped. Inspect your oil level and top up if required.
Triangle critical warning
Your triangle critical warning light will illuminate when there is an important message displayed on the instrument panel and should be investigated as soon as possible.
Engine temperature
If the engine’s temperature is too high, the engine temperature warning light will come on. This will be accompanied by a warning message on the instrument panel. If this happens while driving, stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so. You can then report the fault or get some advice.
When you choose a car like a Jaguar, you know you’re paying for quality. But as with all vehicles, there’s a risk of a fault or a problem from time to time - especially as your car begins to age.
As a superior car, your Jaguar is able to monitor itself. With a dashboard full of controls to help you monitor performance, brakes, emissions and more, your car can help you identify an issue so that you can take action when dashboard warning lights appear.
Jaguar cars feature many familiar warning lights that can help indicate an issue, but it’s important to familiarise yourself with Jaguar-specific warning lights to help you understand what they mean and when you should get your car checked out.
