Have
you
recently
changed
brands
of fuel?
If
so,
be sure to fuel your
vehicle
with
quality
fuel (see
“Fuel” in the Index).
Poor
fuel quality
will cause your
engine
not
to
run
as
efficiently as designed.
You
may
notice
this
as
stalling
after
start-up,
stalling
when you
put the vehicle into gear,
misfiring,
hesitation
on
acceleration or stumbling
on
acceleration.
(These
conditions
may
go
away
once
the
engine
is warmed
up.)
This
will
be
detected
by
the system
and
cause
the light
to
turn
on.
If
you
experience one or
more of these
conditions,
change the fuel brand
you
use.
It will
require
at
least one
full tank of the
proper fuel to
turn
the light
off.
If
none of the above
steps
have
made
the light turn
off,
have
your
retailer
or qualified
service
center
check
the
vehicle. Your retailer
has
the proper test equipment
and
diagnostic
tools
to fix any
mechanical
or
electrical
problems
that
may
have
developed.
Oil
Pressure
Warning
Light
If
you
have
a
low
engine
oil
pressure
problem,
this
light
will
stay on after
you
start
your
engine,
or
come on
and
you
will
hear
a
chime
when
you
are
driving.
This
indicates
that
your
engine
is not
receiving
enough
oil. The engine
could
be
low
on
oil,
or
could
have
some
other oil problem.
Have
it fixed
immediately.
When the ignition is on
but the engine
is
not
running,
the light will come on as
a
test
to
show
you it
is
working,
but the light will
go
out when the en-gine
is
running.
If
it doesn’t
come
on
with
the
ignition
on,
you may have
a
problem
with
the fuse or bulb.
Have
it
fixed right away.
