    Yellow warning light in my 2018 Foton Tunland

    Foton Foton Advice Foton Tunland Foton Tunland Advice Foton Tunland 2018

    There's a yellow warning light at the bottom of the rev counter in my 2018 Foton Tunland 2wd T3 2.8 coming on regularly. I've checked every dash-light warning picture I can find and nothing tells me what the light represents. It resembles a temp warning with fumes at the bottom. Hoping you can advise me.

    The most obvious warning light that features a thermometer icon along with what could be described as fumes is the low coolant warning light which is sometimes yellow or orange (as opposed to red). If that's the case, the `fumes' are actually representing the coolant (as little waves). The other warning light that commonly displays gas fumes is the light to tell you there's a problem with the vehicle's diesel particulate filter (DPF). This is also often a yellow or orange light.

    Car-makers tend to save red warning lights for the more serious problems such as low oil pressure or high coolant temperature. Even so, a yellow or orange warning light should not be ignored as it can easily develop into a red-light situation pretty quickly.

    It sounds simple, but have you checked the owner's manual for the vehicle? There's likely to be a chapter dealing with what warning lights represent what.
