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.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to
ON,
a
chime 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 chime
nor the light will come on.
