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.
Your vehicle may
also
have a Driver Information
Center (DIC) that works along with the warning lights
and gages. See Driver Information Center (DIC)
