Dashboard lights

Light	Name	Description
	Handbrake	Shown when the handbrake is engaged. It is also shown when the car is placed onto the grid, even if handbrake is disallowed in the Allow tab.
	Shift light	Shown when it is the optimal time to shift up to a higher gear. This depends on the torque curve, which can be adjusted in the engine editor. To use this light, go to the vehicle editor and enable the shift light option in Transmission / Audio tab. This light is available only in cars with an internal combustion engine.
	Engine damage	Shown when the engine power is reduced due to over-revving the engine. If the engine damage is lower than 3%, this light is shown in yellow color. Higher engine damage results in a red light. To use this light, go to the vehicle editor and enable the engine damage light option in Transmission / Audio tab. This light is available only in cars with an internal combustion engine.
	Traction control	Shown when the traction control is active (car has lost traction) or when traction control is disabled in car's setup. To use this light, go to the vehicle editor and enable the traction control option in Transmission / Audio tab.
	ABS	Shown when the ABS is active (car's wheels are locked) or when ABS is disabled in car's setup. To use this light, go to the vehicle editor and enable the ABS option in Allow tab.
	Pit limiter	Shown when pit speed limiter is active. To use this light, go to the vehicle editor and enable the pit speed limiter option in Allow tab.
	High beam	Shown when high beam is on. To use this light, the 3D model of the vehicle must contain triangles using a special light color mapping l_side, l_head or l_high.
	Low beam	Shown when low beam is on. To use this light, the 3D model of the vehicle must contain triangles using a special light color mapping l_side, l_head or l_high.
	Sidelights	Shown when sidelights are on. To use this light, the 3D model of the vehicle must contain triangles using a special light color mapping l_side, l_head or l_high.
	Shared indicator	Shown when left or right indicators are on. To see this option in the dashboard editor, the 3D model of the vehicle must contain triangles using one of the special light color mappings: l_rind, l_find, l_rsind, l_fsind. You can switch to separate left and right indicator lights by clicking (click : SEPARATE).
	Left indicator	Shown when left indicators are on. To see this option in the dashboard editor, the 3D model of the vehicle must contain triangles using one of the special light color mappings: l_rind, l_find, l_rsind, l_fsind. You can switch to a shared indicator light by clicking (click : SHARED).
	Right indicator	Shown when right indicators are on. To see this option in the dashboard editor, the 3D model of the vehicle must contain triangles using one of the special light color mappings: l_rind, l_find, l_rsind, l_fsind. You can switch to a shared indicator light by clicking (click : SHARED).
	Rear fog	Shown when the rear fog light is on. To use this light, the 3D model of the vehicle must contain triangles using a special color mapping l_rfog.
	Front fog	Shown when the front fog light is on. To use this light, the 3D model of the vehicle must contain triangles using a special color mapping l_ffog.
	Oil pressure	Shown when the engine is stalled. Oil pressure is not simulated in LFS. This light is available only in cars with an internal combustion engine.
	Battery	In a car with an internal combustion engine, it is shown when the engine is stalled. In a car with an electric motor, it is shown when there is less than 5% of charge left in the battery.
	Low fuel	Shown when there is less than 5% of fuel left in the tank. This light is available only in cars with an internal combustion engine.
	Neutral	Shown when the car is in neutral gear. This light is available only in cars with an internal combustion engine.
