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.

Check engine: The Check Engine

indicator light illuminates when the

ignition is first turned to the ON

position to check the bulb. Solid

illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board

Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to On

board diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Maintenance and Specifications

chapter. If the light is blinking, 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.

WARNING: Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust

temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel

system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components,

possibly causing a fire.

Check fuel cap: Illuminates when

the fuel cap may not be properly

installed. Check the fuel filler cap if

this light remains on. Continued

driving with this light on may cause

the Check Engine warning light to

come on.

It may take a long period of time for the system to detect an

improperly installed or properly re-installed fuel filler cap

depending on driving and fuel tank level conditions. Refer to Fuel

filler cap in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

Brake system warning light: To

confirm the brake system warning

light is functional, it will

momentarily illuminate when the

ignition is turned to the ON position

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 system warning light does not illuminate at this

time, seek service immediately from your dealership. Illumination after

releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level or a failure to

brake proportioning and the brake system should be inspected

immediately by your servicing dealership.

WARNING: Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning

light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking

performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the

vehicle. Have the vehicle checked by your dealer immediately.

Anti-lock brake system: If the

ABS light stays illuminated or

continues to flash, a malfunction has

been detected; have the system

serviced immediately. Normal

braking is still functional unless the brake warning light also is

illuminated.
