in
three other situations:
When the ignition
is
on but
the
engine
is
not
running,
the light will
come
on as a test to show
you
it
is
working, but the light will go out when you turn the
ignition to
START.
If
it
doesn’t come
on
with the
ignition
on,
you
may have a problem with the fuse or
bulb. Have it fixed right away.

Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop, the
light may blink on and off. This is normal.
If
you make a hard stop, the light may come
on
for a
moment. This is normal.
