This light comes on briefly when you turn the
ignition to the ON position, but should turn off
when the engine starts. If the light does not
come on when you turn the ignition to the ON
position or if it comes on and stays on when
you are driving, have your vehicle serviced as
soon as possible. This indicates a possible
problem with one of the engine's emission
control systems.You do not need to have your
vehicle towed in.

If the light turns on and off briefly while you
are driving, it means that the condition is no

O/D OFF Light (If equipped)
[LG05886(ALL)05/95]
This light tells you that the overdrive off (O/D
OFF) button on the shift selector has been
pushed. When the light is on, the transaxle will
not shift into overdrive. Depressing the button
on the shift selector again will return the vehicle
to ªoverdrive onº mode. The transaxle will be in
the ªoverdrive onº mode when the vehicle is
started even if the O/D OFF mode was selected
when the vehicle was last shut off.
[LG05888(ALL)06/93]
If the light does not come on when the O/D
OFF button is pressed, or if the light flashes
when you are driving, have your vehicle
serviced at the first opportunity. If this condition
persists, damage could occur to the transaxle.
