Warning Lights, Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could prevent injury.
Warning lights come on when there might be or there is
a problem with one of the vehicle's functions. Some
warning lights come on briefly when the engine is
started to indicate they are working.
Gauges can indicate when there might be or there is a
problem with one of the vehicle's functions. Often
gauges and warning lights work together to indicate a
problem with the vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
while driving, or when one of the gauges shows there
could be a problem, check the section that explains
what to do. Follow this manual's advice. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly and even dangerous.
Instrument Panel Cluster
The instrument panel cluster is designed to show how
the vehicle is running. It shows how fast the vehicle is
going, how much fuel has been used, and many other
things needed to drive safely and economically.
The vehicle has this cluster or one very similar to it.
It includes indicator warning lights and gauges that are
explained on the following pages. Be sure to read
about them.
