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
you 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
sa€ety
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.
