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.
Safety
Belt
Reminder
Light
When the key
is
turned
to
ON
or
STAFtT,
a
light will
come
on
for
about
eight
seconds
to
remind
people
to
fasten their safety belts.
Unless the driver’s safety
belt is already buckled, a
chime will also sound.
