Warnings
Engine monitor system warnings activate the horn for 10 seconds and the appropriate gauge
light for a minimum of 30 seconds. If the unsafe operating condition continues, a light or dis-
play remains ON until the key is turned OFF or the failure is corrected.
The warning will reoccur at the next startup if the problem is not corrected.
