section, you should not be alarmed when this happens. 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.
Your vehicle
also has a Driver Information Center that
works along
with the warning lights and gages. See
“Driver Information Center”
in the Index.
