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.
