GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 135
nate when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position before
engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the
ignition switch from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition
checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor
quality fuel, etc., may illuminate the light after engine start.
The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through
several typical driving styles. In most situations, the vehicle
will drive normally and will not require towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to alert
serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of
power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle
should be serviced by an authorized dealer as soon as
possible if this occurs.
Service 4WD Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to signal a fault
with the 4WD system. If the light stays on or comes
on during driving, it means that the 4WD system is
not functioning properly and that service is required. We
recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have
the vehicle serviced immediately.
Service Forward Collision Warning (FCW) Light — If
Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to indicate a fault
in the Forward Collision Warning System. Contact
an authorized dealer for service.
Refer to “Forward Collision Warning (FCW)” in “Safety” for
further information.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced
above, can reach higher temperatures than in normal
operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive
slowly or park over flammable substances such as dry
plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could result in death
or serious injury to the driver, occupants or others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) on could cause damage to the vehicle control
system. It also could affect fuel economy and
driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss will soon occur.
Immediate service is required.
