Warning Lights, Gages and lndicafors
This part describes the warning lights and gages that are on \
your vehicle.
The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong be\
fore 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 go 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 turn the ignition\
key just
to let
you know they’re working.
If you are familiar with this part, 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
part that tells you what to
do about it. Please follow the 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.
