Warning light in different language

Hi,

I had a problem with a rental car in a foreign country. There was red words in a foreign language right from the beginning. I was not sure if it was a warning or not. I looked for the manual, but the rental car agency kept the manual. Later on I had problems with the car, and now the agency is telling me that I need to pay for the damage. Has anyone had any problems like this?

Thank you

ML

Why didn't you just Google Translate what it was stating or ask someone?

A red warning light, no matter what the words, usually means something serious. If you continued to drive the car, instead of calling the assistance number, it will not have helped your case.
