This section describes the 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 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.
Brake System Warning Light
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
Your
vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part
isn’t working,
the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking,
though,
you need both parts working well.

According to the American Medical Association, a 180-pounc ;) person
who drinks three 12-ounce
(355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will end up
with a BAC
of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the same BAC by
drinking three LCounce (120
ml) glasses of wine or three mixed drinks if each
had 1-1/2 ounces
(45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey, gin or vodka.
It’s the amount of alcohol that counts. For example,
if the same person drank
three double martinis (3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each) within an hour, the
person’s BAC would be close
to 0.12 percent. A person who consumes food
just before or during drinking will have a slightly lower BAC level.

1 HOUR
The law in most U.S. states sets the legal limit at a BAC of 0.10 percent. In
Canada the limit is
0.08 percent, and in some other countries it’s lower than
that. The BAC will be over 0.10 percent after three to six drinks (in one
hour). Of course, as we’ve seen, it depends on how much alcohol is in the
drinks, and how quickly the person
drinks them.

column lock for this. The transmission should be in “N” (Neutral) and the
parking brake released.
If your vehicle has the all-wheel drive option, it can only be towed with all
