110 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING! Do not drive the vehicle until you have properly locked the steering column. 26. Check Engine Light This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system that monitors the emissions and engine control systems. If a problem is detected in one of these systems, the Check Engine light will come on. The light comes on and stays on briefly as a bulb check when the ignition is first turned on. Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, or poor fuel quality may illuminate the light after the engine is started. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time you refuel. If the Check Engine light remains on continuously and the vehicle is driving normally, you may still drive the vehicle. In most situations, the vehicle will not require towing. However, we recommend that you have the system checked at an authorized dealer as soon as possible. If the vehicle is not driving normally, and the Check Engine light flashes or remains on continuously, it is an alert to serious conditions that could lead to loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced at an authorized dealer as soon as possible. 27. Brake Wear Indicator Light With the key in the ignition and turned to the ON/RUN position, the brake wear indicator light comes on. The light goes out when the engine is running. If the indicator light comes on during braking, this indicates the brake pads are worn down. Have the brake system checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. 28. Oil Level Indicator Light With the key in the ignition switch turned to the ON/RUN position, the oil level indicator light comes on. It should go out immediately when the engine is running. If the light does not go out, or comes on while driving, the engine oil level has dropped to approximately the minimum mark on the dipstick.
