Warning  Lights,  Gages 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  waxking  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. 
i 
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. 
Safety  Belt  Reminder  Light 
When  the  key is turned  to RUN or START,  a tone  will 
come on  for about  eight seconds  to rernind  people  to 
fasten their  safety belts, unless  the  driver’s safety belt 
is 
already  buckled. 
The safety  belt light  will 
also come  on  and  stay  on 
for  about 
20 seconds,  then 
it  will  flash  for about 
55 seconds.  If the  driver’s 
belt  is already  buckled, 
neither the  tone nor the 
light  will come on.
