per minute (rpm).

Warning Lights and Indicators
This part 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 come 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 start the engine 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 this 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.
