Warning  Lights andl Indicators 
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.
