Owner's Manual
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 working.
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.
Safety Belt
Reminder
Light
When the key
is
turned to
RUN
or
START,
a chime will
come on for about eight seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts, unless the driver’s safety belt
is
already buckled.
The safety belt light will
also
come on
and
stay
on until the driver’s belt
is
buckled.
