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 [nay 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 also has
a
driver information system that
works along
with
the warning lights and gages. See
“Driver Information System”
in
the Index.
Safety Belt
Reminder
Light
When the key is turned to
RUN
or
START,
a tone 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
tone nor the light will
come on.
