WARNING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights 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.

of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
