Slip indicator light
A car with skid lines, usually flashing briefly.
GENERALLY OK TO PROCEED WITH CAUTION
Nothing is wrong · Green is telling you something is switched on
What it means
This is an activity light, not a fault light. It flashes when the traction or stability control steps in because it sensed a wheel slipping — on a wet road, gravel, or hard acceleration. It is the system working as designed.
Can I drive?
Yes. If it only flashes briefly in slippery conditions, nothing is wrong. Ease off and the car regains grip.
When to look closer
If it stays on steady, or comes on with the traction/stability warning, then the system has a fault worth checking.
Warning-light symbols and meanings vary by vehicle — always check your owner’s manual. This is general guidance based on what the light indicates, not a physical inspection, and a light on its own never names a failed part.
