[LG27810( GV)03/95]
The light comes on briefly when you turn the
ignition key toON, but it should turn off when
the engine starts. If the light does not come on
when you turn the ignition toONor 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
vehicle's emission control systems. You do not
need to have your vehicle towed in.
*
[LG27815( GV)04/95]
If the light turns on and off at one (1) second
intervals while you are driving the vehicle, it
means that the engine is misfiring. If this
condition persists, damage could occur to the
engine or catalytic convertor. Have your vehicle
serviced at the first opportunity. You do not
need to have your vehicle towed in.
*
[LG27820( GV)03/95]
If the light turns on and off on rare occasions
while you are driving, it means that a
malfunction occurred and the condition corrected
itself.
*
[LG27825( GV)03/95]
An example of a condition which corrects itself
occurs when an engine running out of fuel
begins to misfire. In this case, the Check Engine
Warning Light may turn on and will then set a
Diagnostic Trouble Code indicating that the
engine was misfiring while the last of the fuel
was being consumed. After refueling, the Check
Engine Warning Light will turn off after the
vehicle has completed three consecutive warm
up cycles without a misfire condition occurring.
A warm up cycle consists of engine start from a
cold condition (engine at ambient temperature)
and running until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature.
*
[LG27850( GV)03/95]
On the fourth engine start up, the Check Engine
Warning Light will turn off as soon as the
engine begins to crank. It is not necessary to
have the engine serviced.

Engine Oil Pressure Light
[LG28109( GV)10/90]

This light indicates the engine oil pressure, not
the oil level. However, if your engine's oil level
is low, it could affect the oil pressure. The light
should come on every time your ignition key is
turned to ON or START, and should go out
when the engine starts. If the light stays on or
turns on while the engine is running, you have
lost oil pressure andcontinued operation will
cause severe engine damage.

If the fuel gauge displays only the top two bars
and the bottom two bars, or, if fuel remaining or
distance to empty functions display CO or CS,
then there is a problem. Take your vehicle in for
service.

When you turn the ignition key to the ON or
ACC position, all the display segments will light

If your fuel level is above 20 gallons (76 liters),
the letter ªFº (full) will appear on the display.
But if your fuel level has dropped to below
1 gallon (4 liters), the letter ªEº (empty) will
appear in the display.

Because of factors like rounding of numbers and
fuel movement in the tank, your fuel gauge and
the service station fuel pump readings may
disagree slightly.
