Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning
lights
and gages that
may be on
your
vehicle. The pictures
will
help
you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you
or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be
or
is a
problem with one of
your
vehicle's functions.
As
you
will see
in
the details on the next few pages. some
warning lights come on briefly when
you
start the
engine just
to
let
you
know they're workinz.
If
you are
familiar with this section, you
should
not
be
alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with
one
of
your
vehicle's functions. Often gages and
warning lights
work
together to let you know when
there's a problem
with
your vehicle.
When one
of
the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one
of
the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells
you
what
to
do about
it.
Please follow this manual's advice.
Waiting
to
do repairs can be costly
--
and even
dangerous.
So
please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They're
a
big help.
