TomsFocus Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 If you have xenon's it could be washer fluid level? Otherwise it's likely to be brake fluid level...but that one should be red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come with headlight washers so you get through more washer fluid with them. The warning comes up quite early so you don't run out.

At least that'll rule that one out. I suspect it was probably brake fluid and the orange engine manageable light...as shown on the far right of Stephens picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top up the washer fluid anyway. Make sure the brake fluid sensor is plugged in properly (maybe even unplug and replug it) and see if it's still there after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenFord Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Tom, I'm assuming my car doesn't have the same diagnostic reporting system? I can see the LCD screen is much narrower than the OP so wouldn't have the same capacity to display text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erictcleric Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 The orange LED means there's a warning message on the display - it's supposed to draw your attention to whatever is being displayed on the message screen. That LED would be red if it was a serious problem, so I agree with Tom - it's probably the washer fluid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer display also shows exterior temp, with scrolling options of MPG & range readouts iirc. It would have been trim level dependant.

If you could see in real time mpg it would only cause 'stress' and think of the 'anxiety' if you could watch the range drop like a brick when you only have 20 miles of fuel left 🤣 Less information is sometimes better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonovAN12 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I can also confirm that the LX cluster LCD screen only shows the odometer and trip mileage readings. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
