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 tone 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 tone nor
the
light
will
come on.
Air
Bag
Readiness Light
There is an
air
bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows
AIR
BAG.
The system checks the
air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells you
if
there is an electrical problem. The system
check includes the air bag sensors, the air bag module,
the wiring and the diagnostic module.
For
more
information on the air bag system, see ”Air Bag”
in
the Index.
