Chevrolet Captiva Owners Manual: Reduced Engine Power Light, High-Beam On Light, Front Fog Lamp Light

Reduced Engine Power Light

The reduced engine power light should come on briefly as the engine is started. If it does not come on, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer.

This light, along with the malfunction indicator lamp, displays when a noticeable reduction in the vehicle's performance occurs.

The vehicle can be driven at a reduced speed when the reduced engine power light is on but acceleration and speed might be reduced. If this light stays on, see your dealer as soon as possible for diagnosis and repair.

High-Beam On Light

The high-beam on light comes on when the high-beam headlamps are in use.

See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 6-2 for more information.

Front Fog Lamp Light

The fog lamp light comes on when the fog lamps are in use.

The light goes out when the fog lamps are turned off. See Fog Lamps on page 6-4 for more information.

Low Washer Fluid Warning Light

The low washer fluid warning light comes on when the windshield washer fluid is low. See Washer Fluid on page 10-20 for more information.

Chevrolet Captiva can display various indicator lights on the instrument cluster to provide important information to the driver. One such light is the Reduced Engine Power light, which typically illuminates when the engine's power output is limited due to a detected issue. This could be caused by a variety of factors, such as a malfunctioning sensor, fuel system problem, or engine management issue. When this light comes on, it's important to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified technician to diagnose and address the underlying problem.

Additionally, the High-Beam On light indicates when the high-beam headlights are engaged. High beams provide increased visibility at night or in low-light conditions but should be used responsibly to avoid blinding other drivers.

The Front Fog Lamp light illuminates when the front fog lights are turned on. These lights are designed to improve visibility in foggy or misty conditions by casting a wide, low beam of light near the ground. It's important to use fog lights only when necessary and to switch them off when visibility improves to avoid dazzling other road users.

Understanding these indicator lights and their meanings can help drivers stay informed about their vehicle's status and operate safely on the road. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to warning lights can contribute to a smoother and safer driving experience with the Chevrolet Captiva.
