INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
-LowFuelWarningLight
This warning light indicates when the fuel level reaches approximately 2.0 gal (7.8 L), this
light will turn on and a single chime will sound.
-ChargingSystemLight
This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light
remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.
We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.
-OilPressureWarningLight
This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop the
vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four minutes
when this light turns on.
We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.
-Anti-LockBrake(ABS)Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The light will turn on when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position and may stay on for as long as four
seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion
of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. However, the
conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the BRAKE warning light is
not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore
the benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.
