stability control off light · traction control disabled light
The driver has manually turned off the electronic stability control or traction control system, usually with a dedicated dashboard button.
Press the same button again to turn the system back on for normal driving. Only drive with it off intentionally and briefly, such as when rocking a car free from snow.
Yes, but you lose the safety net that helps prevent skids and loss of control, especially in rain, snow, or on curves - turn it back on for everyday driving.

Airbag / SRS Warning Light
CriticalThe supplemental restraint system (airbags and seatbelt pretensioners) has detected a fault. The airbags may not deploy correctly in a crash, or could deploy unexpectedly.
Seatbelt Reminder Light
InfoThe system has detected that the driver or a passenger is not wearing a seatbelt, usually combined with a chime.
Traction Control / Electronic Stability Control Light
InfoThis light (usually a car icon with wavy skid lines) flashes briefly when the traction or stability control system is actively working to keep the car stable, for example on a slippery surface.
Glow Plug Warning Light (Diesel)
InfoOn diesel engines, this coil-shaped light shows the glow plugs are preheating the combustion chambers before starting - completely normal. It becomes a fault indicator only if it flashes or stays on after the engine is running.
Get the app, plug in an OBD2 adapter and ask Motoro AI what this code means. It checks your car live and tells you what to do next.
