Warning Lights,
Gages
and
Indicators
This part describes 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
Warning
Light
When the
key
is
turned to
RUN
or START 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.
