CAUTION! (Continued)
into the normal range. If the pointer remains
on the “H,” and you hear a chime, turn the
engine OFF immediately and call for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.
You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant. You may want to
call a service center if your vehicle over-
heats. If you decide to look under the hood
yourself, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle”
and follow the warnings under the Cooling
System Pressure Cap paragraph.
16. Seat Belt Reminder Light
This light will turn on for four to eight
seconds as a bulb check when the
ignition is first placed in ON/RUN po-
sition. A chime will sound if the driver’s
seat belt is unbuckled during the bulb check.
The Seat Belt Warning Light will flash or remain
on continuously if the driver’s seat belt remains
unbuckled after the bulb check or when driving.
Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further
information.
17. Vehicle Security Light — If Equipped
This light will flash at a fast rate for
approximately 15 seconds when
the vehicle security alarm is arm-
ing, and then will flash slowly until
the vehicle is disarmed.
18. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
is part of an onboard diagnostic sys-
tem called OBD. The OBD system
monitors engine and automatic trans-
mission control systems. The MIL will
turn on when the ignition is in the ON/RUN
position before engine start. If the MIL does not
come on when turning the key from OFF to
ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing
gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate
the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be
serviced if the MIL stays on through several of
your typical driving cycles. In most situations,
the vehicle will drive normally and will not
require towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL) on could cause damage to
the engine control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and driveability. If the MIL is
flashing, severe catalytic converter damage
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as ref-
erenced above, can reach higher tempera-
tures than in normal operating conditions.
This can cause a fire if you drive slowly or
park over flammable substances such as dry
plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could re-
sult in death or serious injury to the driver,
occupants or others.
