left/right turn signal is left on, with the vehicle speed
greater than 15 mph (24 km/h) for more than one mile.
4. Low Fuel Warning Light
The Low Fuel Warning indicator lights when the
fuel gauge reads 1/8 of a tank or less. There is a
pointer on the side of this symbol that indicates the
side that your fuel filler door is located.
5. High Beam Indicator
The High Beam indicator illuminates if the head-
lights are on high beam.
6. Seat Belt Reminder Light
The Seat Belt Reminder light comes on for several
seconds after the ignition is turned ON as a
reminder to “buckle up.” This light will remain on
as long as the seat belt remains unbuckled. If this light
flashes, it indicates a fault in the airbag system. Have the
system checked by an authorized dealer.
7. Coolant Temperature Light
The Coolant Temperature light warns of an over-
heated engine condition. For a bulb check, this
light will come on momentarily when the ignition
is turned On. If the light turns on while driving, stop the
vehicle, shift into NEUTRAL and increase the engine
speed for two to three minutes. If the temperature
reading does not return to normal, seek authorized
service immediately.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature light is on,
safely pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
in neutral with the air conditioner turned off until
the light turns off. If the light remains on, turn the
engine off immediately, and call for service.
