You will find a number of safety cautions in this book. We use a box with
gray background and the word CAUTION to tell you about things that could
hurt you if you were to ignore the warning.
In the gray caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then we tell you
what to do to help avoid
or reduce the hazard. Please read these cautions. If
you don’t, you or others could be hurt.
You will also find
a circle with a slash through it in this book. This safety
symbol means “Don’t,’’ “Don’t do this,” or “Don’t let this happen.”

Also, in this book you will find these notices:
NOTICE:
These mean there is something that could damage your vehicle.
In the notice area, we tell you about something that can damage your
vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your warranty,
and
it could be costly. But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid
the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION and NOTICE
warnings in different colors or
in different words.
You’ll also see warning labels
on your vehicle. They use yellow for
cautions, blue for notices and the words CAUTION
or NOTICE.

If you have this feature, your rear axle can give you additional traction on
snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle most of the
time, but when one of the rear wheels has no traction and the other does, the
locking feature will allow the wheel with traction
to move the vehicle.

or engine damage may occur.
Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This section describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your
vehicle. The pictures
will help you 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 your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights
go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let
you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you
know when there’s
a problem with your vehicle.
When
one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, or when
one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the
section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow the manual’s advice.
Waiting
to do repairs can be costly - and even dangerous. So please get to
know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part
isn’t working,
the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking,
though,
you need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
This light should come
on as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on
then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
If
the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop
carefully.
You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle’’
in the Index.)
