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.
Your vehicle also has a Driver Information Center that
works along with the warning lights and gages. See
“Driver Information Center” later in this section.
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
for about
20
seconds,
then it will flash for about
70
seconds. If the driver’s
belt
is
already buckled,
neither the chime nor the
light will come on.
