¿Qué significan las luces de advertencia e indicadoras de mi Lincoln?

The warning lamps on your dashboard alert you to a potentially serious vehicle condition. Indicator lights show when a feature is in use.

Algunas luces se encienden cuando enciendes el vehículo para asegurarte de que funcionen. If any lamps remain on after you start your vehicle, refer to Vehicle Health Alerts, if available, in the Lincoln app* or review the list below for more information.

If you are looking for a warning or indicator light that is not listed, or if you are looking for information regarding other lights in your vehicle, such as headlights, taillights, and dome lights, refer to your vehicle's Owner's Manual for clarification.

Note: To understand which vehicle code is causing a light to turn on, contact your Lincoln Dealer.
