children who do not fall asleep in the child seat
may be secured with the retractor in the
emergency locking mode. The belts will lock
automatically during a collison or hard braking.

serviced as soon as possible. This indicates a
possible problem with one of the vehicle's
emission control systems. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed in.
[LG08400(ALL)08/95]
If the light turns on and off at one (1) second
intervals while you are driving the vehicle, it
means that the engine is misfiring. If this
condition persists, damage could occur to the
engine or catalytic convertor. Have your vehicle
serviced at the first opportunity. You do not
need to have your vehicle towed in.
[LG08500(ALL)08/95]
If the light turns on and off on rare occasions
while you are driving, it means that a
malfunction occurred and the condition corrected
itself.
[LG08600(ALL)08/95]
An example of a condition which corrects itself
occurs when an engine running out of fuel
begins to misfire. In this case, the Check Engine
Warning Light may turn on and will then set a
Diagnostic Trouble Code indicating that the
engine was misfiring while the last of the fuel
was being consumed. After refueling, the Check
Engine Warning light will turn off after the
vehicle has completed three consecutive warm
up cycles without a misfire condition occurring.
A warm up cycle consists of engine start from a
cold condition (engine at ambient temperature)
and running until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature.
[LG08700(ALL)08/95]
On the fourth engine start up, the Check Engine
Warning Light will turn off as soon as the
engine begins to crank. It is not necessary to
have the engine serviced.

the engine. Remove and replace the fuel cap,
making sure it is properly seated.
[LG08900(ALL)08/95]
After completing three (3) consecutive warm up
cycles and on the fourth engine start up, the
Check Engine Warning light should turn off. If
the light does not go off after the fourth engine
restart, have your vehicle serviced by your
dealer or a qualified technician.
[LG10324(ALL)08/95]
Check Coolant Light
[LG10326(ALL)01/92]

coolant. This light comes on when you turn the
ignition key to START and remains on for a few
seconds after the engine starts, then normally
goes out. SeeEngine coolantin the Index.
