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.
