WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

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 the

bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have

the respective system inspected immediately.

Service engine soon

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 (OBD II). The OBD II system protects the

environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet

government emission standards. The OBD II system also assists the

service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.

The 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.
