On the fourth engine start up, the Service Engine Soon light will turn off as soon as the engine begins to crank. It is not necessary to have the engine serviced. Under certain conditions, the Service Engine Soon Light may come on if the fuel cap is not properly installed. If the Service Engine Soon Light comes on and you suspect that the fuel cap is not properly installed, pull off the road as soon as it is safely possible and turn off the engine. Remove and replace the cap, making sure it is properly seated. After completing the three consecutive warm up cycles and on the fourth engine start up, the Service Engine Soon Warning Light should turn off. If the light does not go off after the fourth engine re-start, have your vehicle serviced by your dealer or a qualified technician. 58 High Beam Light This light comes on when the headlamps are turned to high beam or when you flash the lights. Chime for Headlamps On This chime sounds if the driver or any passenger door is open when the parking lamps or headlamps are on. The chime sounds until you close the door, turn off the lamps or turn the ignition to the ON position.
