Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Service Engine Soon Light)
A computer monitors
operation
of your fuel,
ignition and emission
control systems. This light should come
on when the
ignition
is on, but the
engine is not running, as
a check to show you it
is
working. If it
does not come on at all, have
it fixed right away. If
it stays on, or it comes on while you are driving, the
computer
is indicating that you have a problem. You
should take your vehicle in for service soon.
NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light on,
after a while the emission controls won’t work as
well, your fuel economy won’t be as good and your engine may not run as smoothly.
This could lead to
costly repairs not covered by your warranty.

E
If you have a problem with
your oil,
this light may stay
on after you start your
engine, or come on when
you
are driving.
This indicates that oil is not going through your engine
quickly enough to keep
it lubricated. The engine could
be low on oil
or could have some other oil problem.
Have it fixed right away.
The oil light could also come on in three other
situations:
0 When the ignition is on but the engine is not running,
the light will come on as
a test to show you it is
working, but the light will go out when you
turn the
ignition to
START. If it doesn’t come on with the
ignition on, you may have a problem with the fuse or
bulb. Have it fixed right away.
0 Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop, the
light may blink on and
off. This is normal.
0 If you make a hard stop, the light may come on for a
moment. This is normal.
I NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by your
warranty.

Low Oil Level Light
Your engine is equipped
with an oil level monitoring
system. When the ignition
key is turned on, the LOW
OIL light will briefly flash.
If the light does not flash,
have
it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there’s
a problem.
If the light stays on, stop the vehicle on a level surface and
turm the engine off. Check the oil level using the engine oil
dipstick. (See “Engine Oil” in the Index.) If the light does
not flash, have the low oil level sensor system repaired
so
it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
The oil level monitoring system only checks oil
level
during the brief period between key on and engine
crank. It does not monitor engine oil level when the
engine is running. Additionally, an oil level check is
only performed if the engine has been turned off for a
considerable period of time, allowing the oil normally
in
circulation to drain back into the oil pan. This light
will come on
when you turn the key to
START and stay on until the
vehicle starts. It will also
come on and stay on if your
key is too dirty or wet for
the PASS-Key@II system to
read the resistor pellet.
If the resistor pellet is damaged or missing, the light will
flash.
If you’re driving and the light comes on and remains on,
your PASS-Key% system is
not working properly.
Your vehicle is not protected by PASS-Key@II, and you
should see your dealer.

control option, the right knob changes the temperature
of the air coming through the system. Turn this knob
toward red (clockwise) for warmer air. Turn it toward
blue (counterclockwise) for cooler air.

control option, the center levers change the temperature
of the air coming through the system. The DRIV lever
sets the temperature for the driver and rear seat

the front seat passenger.
