What does the zigzag warning light look like?
The zigzag warning light is also called the multifunction indicator. It appears as an orange or red rectangle with a central wavy line, resembling an electrocardiogram, a wave, or even a spring! It's unclear what Dacia engineers intended with this symbol...
The light can turn on in either orange or red, depending on the issue with your Dacia.

Orange zigzag light + wrench symbol
Oil changes and maintenance for Dacia vehicles should be done annually or every 10,000 km. When the service is due, the orange multifunction warning light and the wrench symbol will appear.
Schedule a service and change the engine oil to avoid losing your vehicle's warranty. Learn how to reset the oil change warning light with our klavkarr diagnostic tool.
Orange zigzag light + tire pressure warning light
Each wheel (except the spare tire) has a sensor in the inflation valve that periodically measures tire pressure.
If a sudden loss of pressure occurs, such as in the case of a puncture, the tire pressure warning light and the red zigzag light will turn on, accompanied by an alert sound. You must stop immediately to change the tire.
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) detects a pressure drop, the tire warning light will turn on along with the orange multifunction warning light. Check the pressure as soon as possible, ideally when the tires are cold. The recommended pressure is listed inside the driver’s door.
If the tire pressure warning light blinks for a few seconds before staying on along with the orange multifunction warning light, one of the tire sensors may be faulty or missing. Note: The tire warning light will also turn on when using the spare tire.
