Warning Lights, Gages
and Zndicators
This section describes the warning lights
and gages that are
on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.

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
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
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 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.
