warning lights and gauges could prevent injury.
Warning lights come on when there might be or there
is a problem with one of the vehicle's functions. Some
warning lights come on briefly when the engine is

Gauges can indicate when there might be or there is
a problem with one of the vehicle's functions. Often

a problem with the vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
while driving, or when one of the gauges shows there
could be a problem, check the section that explains
what to do. Follow this manual's advice. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly and even dangerous.
