2006 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID bulb

This indicator comes on as a
reminder that you must ref uel soon.
The lef t or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If the indicators do not blink,
or if they blink rapidly, it usually
means one of the turn signal bulbs is
burned out (see page ). Replace
the bulb as soon as possible, since
other drivers cannot see that you are
signaling.
Whenyouturnonthehazard

indicators blink. All turn signals on
the outside of the vehicle should
flash. This indicator reminds you that the
exterior lights are on. It comes on
when the light switch is in either the
or position. If you turn the
ignition switch to the ACCESSORY
(I) or LOCK (0) position without
turning of f the light switch, this
indicator will stay on. A reminder
chime will also sound when you open
the driver’s door.
When the indicator comes on, there
is about 2.62 U.S. gal (9.9 Liter)of
f uel remaining in the tank bef ore the
reading reaches E. There is a small
reserve of f uel remaining in the tank
