Malfunction Indicator Lamp

(Service Engine Soon Lamp)

This instrument panel lamp illuminates

under a variety of conditions when the

detects a malfunction in the vehicle’s

emission controls.

If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp is lit

steadily, check the gas cap to ensure

it is present and secure

• Turn the cap clockwise until a “ratch-

eting” sound is heard, signaling that it

is secure.

• If this is the cause of the condition, a

few driving trips with the cap installed

properly should turn the light off.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual

Electronically Controlled

Air Suspension System
