Warning
Lights,
Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages 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 worlung.
If
you
are familiar with this
section, you should not be alarmed when this happens.
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
also
has
a
Driver Information Center that
works along
with
the warning lights and gages. See
“Driver Information Center”
in
the Index.
