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 wl1e.n 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
RUN
or START,
a
tone
will
come on for about eight seconds to remind people to
fisten 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
55
seconds.
If
the driver’s
belt is already buckled,
neither the tone nor the
light
will
come on.
