Warning Lights,  Gages  and 
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. 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.

fuel Gage 
Your  fuel  gage  tells you about  how 
much  fuel you  have left, when  the 
ignition  is 
on. When  the gage  first 
indicates 
E (Empty), you still  have  a 
little  fuel left,  but you  should  get more 
soon. 
Here  are four things  that some  owners 
ssk about.  None of these  show a 
problem  with your fuel  gage: 
At the  service  station,  the gas  pump 
shuts  off before  the gage  reads 
F 
(Full) . 
It takes  a  little more  or less  fuel  to fill 
up  than  the  gage indicated. For 
example,  the gage  may  have  indicated 
the  tank  was half full,  but it actually 
took  a little more  or less  than  half the 
tank's  capacity  to 
fill the  tank.
