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
bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the
respective system inspected immediately.

illuminates while driving, it is a
possible indication that one of the
engine’s emission control systems
has failed.

the fuel cap may not be properly
installed. Continued driving with
this light on may cause the Service

momentarily illuminate when the

when the engine is not running, or in a position between ON and START,
or by applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned to the ON
position. If the brake systemwarning light does not illuminate at this
time, seek service immediately from your dealership. Illumination after
