While these lights are enough to make any driver nervous, especially if you're unsure of their meaning, our Fort Worth area Honda dealer is always here to help.

There's a simple explanation should you see a little triangle with an exclamation point in the middle light up your Honda vehicle's dashboard. This warning light serves as an icon for your Honda vehicle's Vehicle Stability Assist system and indicates that there is something wrong with the system itself.

The Vehicle Stability Assist system helps to stabilize your Honda while cornering in the event your ride turns a little more or less than desired. It can even assist you by gripping the road while accelerating on loose or slippery road surfaces and does so by regulating your vehicle's engine output and selectively applying the brakes.

What Should Fort Worth Area Drivers Do When They See This Warning Light?

If you notice the Vehicle Stability Assist light turn on while driving, find a safe place to pull off to the side of the road and turn off the engine. Restart your engine to reset the system and pay close attention to your dashboard. If the indicator light remains on or turns back on while driving, be sure to visit our Honda service center near Fort Worth for assistance. Our team of Honda-certified technicians would be more than happy to take a look under the hood and get you back on the road as fast as possible!
