WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the
lights work. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the
respective system inspected immediately.
Service engine soon:TheService
engine soon indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first
turned to the ON position to check
the light function. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates
the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction.
Refer to On board diagnostics (OBD-II) in theMaintenance and
Specifications chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring
which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your
vehicle serviced immediately.
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.
Brake system warning light: To
confirm the brake system warning
light is functional, it will
momentarily illuminate when the
ignition is turned to the ON position
when the engine is not running or by applying the parking brake when
the ignition is turned to the ON position. If the brake system warning
light does not illuminate at this time, seek service immediately from your
dealership. Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low
brake fluid level and the brake system should be inspected immediately
by your servicing dealership.

Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning light on is
dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may
occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. Have the vehicle
checked by your dealer immediately.
Anti-lock brake system:
Illuminates indicating an ABS fault.
If the lamp stays on for more than a
few seconds, then an ABS fault is
indicated, have the system serviced
immediately. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake warning
light also is illuminated.
Check gage: Illuminates when any
of the following conditions has
occurred:
• The engine coolant temperature
is high.
• The engine oil pressure is low.
• The fuel gauge is at or near empty.
• The charging system is malfunctioning.
Air bag readiness: If this light fails
to illuminate when ignition is turned
to ON, continues to flash or remains
on, have the system serviced
immediately. A chime will also
sound when a malfunction in the supplemental restraint system has been
detected.
Safety belt: Reminds you to fasten
your safety belt. A chime will also
sound to remind you to fasten your
safety belt.
Anti-theft system: Flashes when
the Securilock
Passive Anti-theft
System has detected a fault.

ignition in the OFF/LOCK or ACCESSORY position and the driver’s door
is opened.
Headlamps on warning chime: Sounds when the headlamps or parking
lamps are on, the ignition is off (the key is not in the ignition) and the
driver’s door is opened.
GAUGES
Engine coolant temperature
gauge: Indicates engine coolant
temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the needle will be
outside the red section. If it enters
the red section, the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, switch
off the engine and let the engine cool.

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot.
Tachometer: Indicates the engine
speed in revolutions per minute.
Driving with your tachometer
pointer continuously at the top of
the scale may damage the engine.
Engine oil pressure gauge:
Indicates engine oil pressure. If the
pointer drops to the red section
when the engine is running, stop
your vehicle as soon as possible,
shut off the engine and check the
oil tank level. Add oil if necessary.
Do not continue to operate your
engine as long as the pointer is in the red section. Otherwise, your
engine may be severely damaged.
If the gauge indicates zero or very low oil pressure (needle in the
red section) stop the vehicle and engine as soon as safe to do so
and check the engine oil tank level.
After running, the engine may be hot. Allow the engine to cool
before handling any components.
Voltmeter gauge: Measures the
battery charging voltage. If the
pointer moves above or below the
normal operating range under
normal vehicle operation, have your
vehicle’s electrical system checked.
