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
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
55
seconds.
If
the driver’s
belt
is
already buckled,
neither the chime nor the
light
will
come
on.
