(e) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the fuel level
in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up

ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.

sure is too low.

assistance.

briefly after a hard stop. There is no
cause for concern if it then goes out when
the engine is accelerated slightly.
The light may come on when the oil level
is extremely low. It is not designed to

sliding door is opened or in the process

tem on, a buzzer will sound and the open

tion key is turned to the “ACC” or
“ON” position. After about 6 seconds,
the light will go off. This means the
system of the airbag and front seat belt
pretensioners are operating properly.
The warning light system monitors the air-
bag sensor assembly, seat belt pretension-
er assembly, inflators, warning light, inter-
connecting wiring and power sources.

one of the tires is critically reduced. The light
comes on when the ignition key is turned to

seconds. This indicates that the low tire pres-
sure warning system is functioning properly.
