BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Instrument cluster with standard measure shown; metric similar
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure they
work. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning light for additional information.
Note:Some warning indicators are reconfigurable telltales (RTT). These
indicators display in the message center and function the same as a
warning light but do not display on startup.
Warning and status messages will also display in the message center and
may be accompanied by various warning lights. SeeSystem warning
and status messageslater in this chapter for more information.
Service engine soon:Theservice
engine soonindicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first
turned to the on position to check
the bulb and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing. Normally, the “service engine soon”
light will stay on until the engine is cranked, then turn itself off if no
malfunctions are present. However, if after 15 seconds the “service
engine soon” light blinks eight times, it means that the vehicle is not
ready for I/M testing. See theReadiness for Inspection/Maintenance
(I/M) testingin theMaintenance and Specificationschapter.
