Dashboard lights and symbols

This light indicates that the lights are turned on, at least on side lights. In case of a lack of a ‘dipped headlight’ dashboard light, check whether you are running the dipped headlight. Riding with only side lights is irresponsible.

This light indicates that you have turned on the dipped headlight.

This light is required on all vehicles that are fitted with a full-beam headlight and indicates that the full-beam headlight is turned on. Mind that you do not blind anyone with the full-beam headlight.

These arrows can be installed either combined or separately. They indicate that your indicator is on. With a combined light, you will have to check whether you have turned on the correct indicator.

This light must be present if the brommobiel is fitted with a rear fog light. This light indicates that the rear fog light is turned on. You are only allowed to turn on the rear fog light when the visibility is 50 metres or less due to fog or snowfall.

This light indicates that the fuel tank is almost empty. On some mopeds and snorfietsen, it is possible to switch to a spare tank. On a speed pedelec, the battery level is usually indicated by one or more lights.

This light indicates that there is a problem with the cooling system. In that case, the engine is usually too hot. Stop immediately and let the engine cool down before checking the coolant level (if the engine is liquid cooled).

There are two telltale lights that indicate a problem with the engine oil. The orange light indicates that you need to check the oil level because it is starting to get too low.

The red light indicates that you must stop immediately. In that case, there is an accute problem with the engine oil and you then run the risk of the engine breaking down because of a too low oil pressure.

This light indicates a problem with the battery. It is supposed to light up the moment you turn on the ignition but must turn off as soon as you start the engine. If it stays on, or turns on while riding, the battery will no longer charge sufficiently. This often means that the battery needs replacing.
