Warning Lights, Gages and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages 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 message center that works
along with the warning lights and gages. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) on page
3-47.
