Are you low on fuel? As your engine starts to run out of fuel, your engine may not run as efficiently as designed since small amounts of air are sucked into the fuel line causing a misfire. The system can detect this. Adding fuel should correct this condition. Make sure to install the fuel cap properly. It will take a few driving trips to turn the light off. 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 stallingafter 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 andcause the light to turnon. 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 Warning Light If you have a problem with your oil, this light may stay on after you start your engine, orcome on when you are driving. This indicates that oil is not going through your engine quickly enough to keep it lubricated. The engine could be low on oilor could have some other oil problem. Have it fixed right away. The oil light could also come on in three other situations: 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 you turn the ignition to START. 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. Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop, the light may blink on and off. This is normal. 2-62
