Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This
part
describes the warning lights and gages that may be
on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something
is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you
or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As
you will
see
in
the details on the next few pages, some warning
lights come on briefly when
you
start
the
engine just to let
you know they’re working.
If
you are familiar with this
section, you should not be alarmed when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or
is
a problem
with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there’s
a
problem with your vehicle.
When one
of
the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one
of
the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to
do
about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to
do
repairs can be costly
--
and even
dangerous.
So
please get to
know
your warning lights
and gages. They’re
a
big help.
