Indicator Lights
Seat Belt Reminder Light
This indicator lights when you turn
the ignition ON (II). It is a reminder
to you and your passengers to
protect yourselves by fastening the
seat belts. A beeper also sounds if
you have not fastened your seat belt.
If you do not fasten your seat belt,
the beeper will stop after a few
seconds but the light stays on until
you do. Both the light and the beeper
stay off if you fasten your seat belt
before turning on the ignition.
Low Oil Pressure
Indicator
This indicator lights when the oil
pressure in the engine drops low
enough to cause damage. It should
light when the ignition is ON (II) and
go out after the engine starts. If this
light flashes or stays on when the
engine is running, there is a possi-
bility of serious engine damage.
Safely pull to the side of the road and
shut off the engine as soon as you
can. Turn to page
204
for in-
structions and precautions on
checking the engine.
Charging System
Indicator
This light indicates the battery is not
being charged. It should come on
when the ignition is ON (II), and go
out after the engine starts. If this
light comes on while driving, the
battery is not being charged. Turn to
page
205
for information about what
to do.
Parking Brake
and Brake
System
Indicator
This light has two functions:
1. It lights as a reminder that you
have set the parking brake.
Driving with the parking brake set
can damage the brakes and tires,
and cause the Anti-lock brake
system to turn off (see page
125
).
2. It can indicate the brake fluid level
is low if it remains lit after you
release the parking brake or
comes on while driving. This is
normally due to worn brake pads.
Have your dealer check the
braking system for worn pads or
fluid leaks.
