High Beam Indicator
It will illuminate when you switch
the high beam headlamps on. It
will flash when you use the
headlamp flasher.
Ignition Warning Lamp If it illuminates when driving, this
indicates a malfunction. Switch
off all unnecessary electrical
equipment. Have your vehicle checked by
an authorized dealer immediately.
Information Indicator It will illuminate when a new
message is stored in the
information display. See
Information Messages (page 90).
Low Fuel Level Warning Lamp If it illuminates, refuel as soon as
possible.
Low Tire Pressure Warning It will illuminate when your tire
pressure is low. If the lamp
remains on with the engine
running or when driving, check
your tire pressure as soon as possible.
It will also illuminate momentarily when
you switch the ignition on to confirm the
lamp is functional. If it does not illuminate
when you switch the ignition on, or begins
to flash at any time, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer.
Safety Belt Minder Warning Lamp It will illuminate and a chime will
sound to remind you to fasten
your safety belt. See
Safety
Belt Minder (page 30). Service Engine Soon If it remains illuminated after you
start the engine, it indicates that
the on board diagnostics system
has detected a malfunction to the
emissions control system. See
Emission
Control System (page 123).
If it flashes, 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.
Note: Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures could
damage the catalytic converter or other
vehicle components.
The service engine soon indicator light
illuminates when you switch the ignition
on prior to engine start to check the bulb
and to indicate whether your vehicle is
ready for inspection maintenance testing.
Normally, the lamp will remain on until the
engine is cranked, then turn itself off if a
malfunction is not present. However, if
after 15 seconds the lamp flashes eight
times, it means that your vehicle is not
ready for inspection maintenance testing.
See Emission Control System (page 123).
Shift Indicator It will illuminate to inform you
that shifting to a higher gear may
give better fuel economy and
lower CO2 emissions. It will not illuminate
during periods of high acceleration, braking
or when the clutch pedal is pressed.
