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.
