WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Engine coolant temperature

Illuminates when the engine coolant

temperature is high. Stop the

vehicle as soon as safely possible,

switch off the engine and let it cool.

Never remove the coolant

recovery cap while the

engine is running or hot.

Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and care chapter. If light

stays on or continues to turn on after the vehicle warms up, have your

vehicle serviced.

This light also illuminates briefly when the ignition key is turned to RUN.

Check engine

Your vehicle is equipped with a

computer that monitors the engine’s

emission control system. This

system is commonly known as the

On Board Diagnostics System. This system protects the environment by

ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet government emission

standards. The system also assists the service technician in properly

servicing your vehicle.

The Check Engine indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first

turned to the RUN position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the

engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be

malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern

being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require

towing.

What you should do if the check engine light illuminates

Light turns on solid:

This means that the On Board Diagnostics System system has detected a

malfunction.

Temporary malfunctions may cause your Check Engine light to

illuminate. Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run

poorly.)

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely

tightened.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank

with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly

installing and securely tightening the gas cap. After three driving cycles

without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the Check

Engine light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine

startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle

service is required.

If the Check Engine light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the

first available opportunity.

Light is blinking:

Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter.

You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and

deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available

opportunity.

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures

could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior

floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Instrumentation

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the RUN

position. If the light remains on,

continues to flash or fails to

illuminate, have the system serviced

immediately. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake system is

disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning

light also remains illuminated with the parking brake released.

Turn signal

Illuminates when the left or right

turn signal or the hazard lights are

turned on. If one or both of the

indicators flash faster, check for a

burned-out turn signal bulb. Refer

to Exterior bulbs in the Maintenance and care chapter.

High beams

Illuminates when the high beam

headlamps are turned on.

Brake system warning

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the RUN

position. Also illuminates if the

parking brake is engaged. If the

brake warning lamp does not

illuminate at these times, or remains on after releasing the parking brake,

seek service immediately.

One of the following conditions may exist:

•low brake fluid level in the reservoir.

•Brake force distribution system failure. The ABS light will also

illuminate if this condition is present.
