That is a check to be sure the light works. If it does not come on, be sure to have it fixed so it will be there to warn you if something goes wrong. When the light comes on and stays on, it means that oil is not flowing through your engine properly. You could be low on oil and you might have some other system problem. Fog Lamp Light The fog lamp light will come on when the fog lamps are in use. Security Light This light flashes when the vehicle security system is activated. The light will go out when the fog lamps are turned off. See Fog Lamps on page 218 for more information. Cruise Control Light This light comes on whenever you set the cruise control. The light goes out when the cruise control is turned off. See Cruise Control on page 211 for more information. 258
