Service Indicator & Warning Lights Geo Storm I

Scheme 1

CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT

Light will illuminate briefly when ignition is in ON position as a system check and will go out after the engine is started. If this light glows during vehicle operation, it indicates that service to the computerized fuel, ignition or emission control system is required.

BATTERY (ALTERNATOR) WARNING LIGHT

Light is shown as a battery symbol on the instrument cluster. It will illuminate briefly when ignition is turned to ON or START position, and should go out when the engine starts and alternator begins to charge. If light stays on or comes on when the engine is running, the battery is not being charged and the electrical system needs service.

VOLTMETER (IF EQUIPPED)

Voltmeter gives a battery voltage reading. If pointer remains outside the White line with engine running, service is needed.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE

Gauge should register within the NORMAL band under regular operating conditions. If the gauge pointer rises into the HOT range, stop the vehicle, let the engine cool and check the coolant level.

ECONOMY MODE LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)

Light indicates vehicle is in economy mode, which helps to conserve gasoline during steady speed driving.

UPSHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)

Light indicates when to shift to the next highest gear for best fuel economy.

BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT

BRAKE warning light indicates that either the parking brake is engaged or there is a malfunction of the dual hydraulic brake system. The light should come on briefly when ignition switch is turned to the ON position and go out after engine starts and the parking brake is released.

INFL REST WARNING LIGHT

Inflatable restraint light will flash when ignition is turned to ON or START position. After a few seconds light goes out, indicating system is checked and ready. If light fails to illuminate or stays illuminated, have the system serviced.

OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT

Light indicates that oil is not going through the engine quickly enough to keep it properly lubricated and cool. Under normal operating conditions, the light will come on as a test when ignition is in ON position and go out when the engine is started. If light illuminates during normal vehicle operation or flashes on and off when braking, it means that oil isn't going through the engine properly. Oil level should be checked immediately.

ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE (IF EQUIPPED)

Gauge indicates engine oil pressure, not the amount of oil in the engine. However, oil level may affect oil pressure. Under normal operating conditions, gauge should register within NORMAL range. Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, oil viscosity or outside temperature. While engine is warming up, oil pressure will be higher than at normal operating temperature. If gauge registers below NORMAL operating band, stop immediately and check the oil level.
