What should I do if warning lights (such as ABS, Check Engine, etc.) appear on the dashboard?
It’s common for warning lights to turn on in Belize due to the fuel quality and rough road conditions. Belize uses leaded fuel instead of the unleaded fuel that most vehicles are designed for. Additionally, unmarked speed bumps and rough roads can trigger these lights, but they often turn off after hitting another bump.
In most cases, the warning lights do not affect the car’s performance, and you can continue driving as usual. However, if you experience any loss of power or other issues, please call us immediately, and we’ll take care of it.
