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.
