Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators This part describes the warning lights and gages that may be on the vehicle. The pictures help to locate them. Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to the warning lights and gages could also save you or others from injury. Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with one of the vehicle's functions. As the details show on the next few pages, some warning lights come on briefly when the engine is started just to indicate they are working. If you are familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed when this happens. Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of the vehicle's functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to indicate when there is a problem with the vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on while the vehicle is being driven, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Follow this manual's advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly - and even dangerous. So please get to know the vehicle's warning lights and gages. They can be a big help. The vehicle also has a Driver Information Center (DIC) that works along with the warning lights and gages. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 186 for more information. 168
