information.
When the Light Flashes First and
Then is On Steady
This indicates that there could be a
problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System. The light ashes
for about a minute and stays
on steady for the remainder of the
ignition cycle. This sequence
repeats with every ignition cycle.
SeeTire Pressure Monitor System
on page 5-45for more information.Malfunction
Indicator Lamp
Check Engine Light
A computer system called OBD II
(On-Board Diagnostics-Second
Generation) monitors operation of
the fuel, ignition, and emission
control systems. It ensures
that emissions are at acceptable
levels for the life of the vehicle,
helping to produce a cleaner
environment.
This light comes on when the
ignition is on, but the engine is not
running, as a check to show it
is working. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced by your
dealer/retailer.If the check engine light comes on
and stays on, while the engine
is running, this indicates that there
is an OBD II problem and service
is required.
Malfunctions often are indicated by
the system before any problem
is apparent. Being aware of the light
can prevent more serious damage
to the vehicle. This system
assists the service technician in
correctly diagnosing any
malfunction.
Notice:If the vehicle is
continually driven with this light
on, after a while, the emission
controls might not work as well,
the vehicle’s fuel economy
might not be as good, and the
engine might not run as
smoothly. This could lead to
costly repairs that might not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.

Highbeam On Light
The highbeam on light comes on
when the high-beam headlamps are
in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam
Changer on page 3-7for more
information.
Low Washer Fluid
Warning Light
The low washer uid warning light
comes on when the windshield
washer uid is low. SeeWindshield
Washer Fluid on page 5-24for

Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gage shows about how much fuel is
in the fuel tank.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates
the side of the vehicle the fuel
door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There still
is a little fuel left, but the fuel
tank should be refueled soon. See
Low Fuel Warning Light on
page 3-34for more information.
Four things that can happen but do
not mean the fuel gage is not
functioning properly are:
At the service station, the fuel
pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel
to ll up than the fuel gage
indicates.
The gage moves a little while
turning a corner or accelerating.
The gage takes a few seconds to
stabilize after the ignition is
turned on, and goes back
to empty after the ignition is
turned off.
For the fuel tank capacity, see
Capacities and Specifications on
page 5-81.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The low fuel warning light, below
the fuel gage, comes on briey when
the engine is started.
