Get it checked soon

Collision warning / auto braking warning light: meaning and what to do

What it means

The forward collision or automatic braking system is off or blocked.

Can I keep driving?

Usually yes, carefully and for a short distance. The collision warning / auto braking light means something needs attention soon, so have it checked in the next few days rather than ignoring it.

What to do

Clean the front radar/camera area (snow, dirt, stickers). If it stays on, have it checked; the car may not brake for you.

What the color tells you

Amber or yellow lights mean a system needs attention. It's usually safe to keep driving carefully, but don't put it off.
