UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 89 CAUTION! Prolonged driving with the light on could cause further damage to the emission control system. It could also affect fuel economy and driveability. The vehicle must be serviced before any state emissions tests can be performed. If the light is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required. If the gas cap is not secured properly, the light may come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time you add fuel. High Beam Indicator This light shows that the headlights are on high beam. Pull the turn signal lever toward the steering wheel to switch the headlights from high or low beam. Seat Belt Indicator Light This system alerts the driver to fasten the seat belt if not done so within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle is moving faster than 5 mph (8 km/h). The system will cause a chime to sound repeatedly and will flash the seat belt warning light for 96 seconds or until the driver's seat belt is fastened. The reminder system will be reactivated if the driver's seat belt is unfastened for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/hr). Refer to Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert™) in the Occupant Restraints section for deactivating the system. 4
