Learn about the indicators, gauges, and displays related to driving the vehicle.

Indicators briefly appear with each engine start and then go out. Red and amber
indicators are most critical. Blue and green indicators are used for general
information.

Malfunction Indicators

These are the most critical indicators. If they come on and stay lit while driving or
at any other time, there may be a problem. See your dealer if necessary.

Brake system
• Brake fluid is low.
• There is a malfunction in the brake system.
Press the brake pedal lightly to check pedal pressure. If normal, check
the brake fluid level when you stop. If abnormal, take immediate action.
If necessary, downshift the transmission to slow the vehicle using engine
braking. Have your vehicle repaired immediately.

Low oil pressure
Engine oil pressure is low. Stop in a safe place. Open the hood and check
the oil level, and add oil if necessary. If the indicator does not turn off, have
your vehicle repaired immediately.

Malfunction indicator lamp (check engine light)
• The emissions control system may have a problem, or the fuel cap is

missing or loose.

• (Blinks) A misfire in the engine’s cylinders is detected. Stop in a safe place,

and wait for the engine to cool down.

Charging system
The battery is not charging. Turn off all electrical items, but do not turn off
the vehicle to prevent further battery discharge. Have your vehicle repaired
immediately.
