A green arrow on the instrument panel will flash in the
direction of the turn or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the green arrow starts
to flash. Hold it there until
you complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t
flash but just stay on, a signal bulb may be burned out
and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident.
If the green arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal
a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers’’ in the Index) and
for burned-out bulbs.

Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part 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 come 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 start the
engine just to let you know they’re 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 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 this 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.

Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to
ON or START, a light will
come
on for about eight
seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts.
Unless the driver’s safety
belt
is already buckled, a
chime will also sound.
Charging System Light
This red light will come on
briefly when you turn on the
ignition, but the engine is
not running, as
a check to
show you it is working.
Then it should
go out when
the engine starts.
If the light stays on or comes on while you are driving,
you may have a problem with the electrical charging
system. It could indicate that you have
a loose generator
drive belt or another electrical problem. Have
it checked
right away. Driving while this light is
on could drain
your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with this light on, be
certain to turn
off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.

Brake System Warning Light
BRAKE
United States Canada
Your Geo’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.
Your vehicle also has rear-wheel anti-lock brakes. If the
warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem
with either your regular or rear-wheel anti-lock brakes,
or both. Have your brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on briefly 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.)
The brake system warning light will also come on when
you set your parking brake, and it will stay on if your
parking brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays on after
your parking brake is fully released, it means you have
a
brake problem.
