TheService Engine Soonindicator light illuminates
when the ignition is first turned to the ON position
to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is
started, one of the engine's emission control systems
may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate
without a driveability concern being noted. The
vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require
towing.
What you should do if the Service Engine Soon
light illuminates
Light turns on solid:
This means that the OBD II system has detected a
malfunction.
Temporary malfunctions may cause yourService
Engine Soonlight to illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may
misfire or run poorly.)
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.
3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed
and securely tightened.
These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by
filling the fuel tank with high quality fuel of the
recommended octane and/or properly installing and
securely tightening the gas cap. After three driving
cycles without these or any other temporary
malfunctions present, theService Engine Soonlight
should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold
engine startup followed by mixed city/highway
driving.) No additional vehicle service is required.
If theService Engine Soonlight remains on, have
your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.
Light is blinking:
Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration)
and have your vehicle serviced at the first available
opportunity.
Instrumentation
10

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive
exhaust temperatures could damage the
catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor
coverings or other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.
Check fuel cap (if equipped)
Momentarily
illuminates when the
ignition is turned to
the ON position to
ensure your bulb is working. When this light turns
on, check the fuel filler cap. Continuing to operate
the vehicle with the check fuel cap light on, can
activate theService Engine Soon/Check Engine
warning light. When the fuel filler cap is properly
re-installed, the light(s) will turn off after a period of
normal driving. This period will vary depending on
driving conditions.
It may take a long period of time for the
system to detect an improperly installed fuel
filler cap.
For more information, refer toFuel filler capin the
Maintenance and carechapter.
Low fuel
Illuminates as an early
reminder of a low fuel
condition indicated on
the fuel gauge (refer to
Fuel Gaugein this chapter for more information).
When refueling, after the light comes on, the amount
of fuel that is added will be less than the advertised
capacity since there is fuel still in the tank. The
ignition must be in the ON position for this lamp to
illuminate. The lamp will also illuminate for several
seconds after the ignition is turned to the ON
position regardless of the fuel level to ensure your
bulb is working.

GAUGES
Base instrument cluster gauges
Optional instrument cluster gauges
Fuel gauge
Displays approximately
how much fuel is in the
fuel tank (when the
key is in the ON
position). The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the
vehicle is in motion or after refueling. The ignition
should be in the OFF position while the vehicle is
being refueled. When the gauge first indicates
empty, there is a small amount of reserve fuel in the
tank. When refueling the vehicle from an empty
indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will
be less than the advertised capacity due to the
reserve fuel.

Engine coolant temperature gauge
Indicates the
temperature of the
engine coolant. At
normal operating
temperature, the needle remains within the normal
area (the area between the ªHº and ªCº). If it enters
the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the
vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the
engine immediately and let the engine cool. Refer to
Engine coolantin theMaintenance and care
chapter.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap
while the engine is running or hot.
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine
coolant, not the coolant level. If the coolant is not at
its proper level the gauge indication will not be
accurate.
Speedometer
Indicates the current vehicle speed.
