WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Service engine soon

Your vehicle is equipped with a

computer that monitors the engine’s

emission control system. This

system is commonly known as the

On Board Diagnostics System

(OBD II). This OBD II system

protects the environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to

meet government emission standards. The OBD II system also assists the

service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.

The Service Engine Soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is

first turned to the ON position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the

engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be

malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern

being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require

towing.

What you should do if the Service Engine Soon light illuminates

Light turns on solid:

This means that the OBD II system has detected a malfunction.

Temporary malfunctions may cause your Service Engine Soon light to

illuminate. Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run

poorly.)

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely

tightened.

Instrumentation

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank

with good quality fuel and/or properly installing and securely tightening

the gas cap. After three driving cycles without these or any other

temporary malfunctions present, the Service Engine Soon light should

turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by

mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is required.

If the Service Engine Soon light remains on, have your vehicle serviced

at the first available opportunity.

Light is blinking:

Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter.

You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and

deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available

opportunity.

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.

Air bag readiness

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned ON. If the light

fails to illuminate, continues to flash

or remains on, have the system

serviced immediately.

Safety belt

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the ON position

to remind you to fasten your safety

belts. For more information, refer to

the Seating and safety restraints

chapter.

Brake system warning

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the ON position

and the engine is off. If the brake

warning lamp does not illuminate at

this time, seek service immediately.

AIR

BAG

BRAKE

Instrumentation

Also illuminates when the parking brake is engaged. Illumination after

releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the brake

system should be inspected immediately.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the ON position

and the engine is off. If the light

remains on, continues to flash or

fails to illuminate, have the system

serviced immediately. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake system

is disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning

light also remains illuminated with parking brake released.

Turn signal

Illuminates when the left or right

turn signal or the hazard lights are

turned on. If one or both of the

indicators stay on continuously or

flash faster, check for a burned-out

turn signal bulb. Refer to Exterior bulbs in the Maintenance and care

chapter.

High beams

Illuminates when the high beam

headlamps are turned on.

Turn on headlamps (if equipped)

Illuminates to remind the driver to

turn the headlamps on when:

•the daytime running lamps are on

•the autolamps are off

•the autolamp sensor determines it

is nighttime

Engine oil pressure

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the ON position

and the engine is off. Illuminates

when the oil pressure falls below the

normal range. Stop the vehicle as

soon as safely possible and switch off the engine immediately. Check the

oil level and add oil if needed. Refer to Engine oil in the Maintenance

and Care chapter.

Traction ControlYoff light

Illuminates when the Traction

Controlysystem has been disabled

(by the driver or as a result of a

system failure). For more

information, refer to the Driving

chapter.

Safety belt warning chime

Chimes to remind you to fasten your safety belts.

For information on the safety belt warning chime, refer to the Seating

and safety restraints chapter.

Supplemental restraint system (SRS) warning chime

For information on the SRS warning chime, refer to the Seating and

safety restraints chapter.

Instrumentation

Headlamps on warning chime

Sounds when the headlamps or parking lamps are on, the ignition is off

(and the key is not in the ignition) and the driver’s door is opened.

Turn signal chime

Sounds when the turn signal lever has been activated to signal a turn

and the vehicle is driven more than 0.8 km (1/2 mile).

GAUGES

Fuel gauge

Displays approximately how much

fuel is in the fuel tank (when the

key is in the ON position). The fuel

gauge may vary slightly when the

vehicle is in motion. The ignition

should be in the OFF position while

the vehicle is being refueled. When

the gauge first indicates empty,

there is a small amount of reserve

fuel in the tank. When refueling the

vehicle from empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will

be less than the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.

A minimum of six gallons must be added or removed from the fuel tank

in order for the gauge to instantaneously update. If less than six gallons

is the change, the gauge will take between five to ten minutes to update.
