SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING LIGHT
Light will illuminate briefly as a system check when ignition is in ON position and will go out after the engine is started. Illumination during vehicle operation indicates service to the computerized fuel, ignition or emission control system is required.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
Gauge indicates engine oil pressure in pounds per square inch. Oil pressure, not the amount of oil in the engine is indicated; however, oil level may affect oil pressure. Oil pressure varies 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 in the low pressure zone, stop immediately and check the oil level.
| CAUTION | DO NOT operate vehicle if oil pressure gauge continues to register in the low pressure zone. |
OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
Warning 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 this light illuminates during normal vehicle operation, oil level should be checked immediately.
BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT
Warning light indicates 2 things: either parking brake is engaged or there is a problem with the brake system. Light should come on briefly when ignition switch is turned to ON position, and parking brake is released. If light stays on, immediate servicing is needed.
CHARGING SYSTEM 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
Gauge shows battery's state of charge in DC volts when engine is not running but ignition is in ON position. When engine is running, gauge shows the condition of the charging system. Readings between low and high warning zones indicate normal operating range. Readings in either warning zone indicate a problem in the electrical system.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Gauge shows engine coolant temperature in degrees. On the standard cluster, overheated engine coolant is indicated if gauge pointer rises into the red area (260°F). On digital clusters, a box around the temperature symbol will flash. If warning condition exists, stop vehicle, let engine cool and check coolant level.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE LIGHT
Light indicates engine coolant has overheated. Vehicle should be stopped and engine cooled as soon as possible. Let engine cool and check the coolant level.
CHOKE WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Light indicates a possible problem with the electric choke heater circuit. If this light comes on while driving, stop vehicle and identify the problem.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT
Light should illuminate briefly when ignition is turned on. If light does not illuminate when ignition is turned on, remains illuminated, or comes on while driving, have rear wheel anti-lock brake system serviced immediately. Brake system will continue to function normally unless BRAKE warning light is also illuminated.
CHECK GAGES WARNING LIGHT
Light should illuminate briefly when engine is turned on. If light stays on or comes on when driving, check the various gauges to see if a warning condition exists.
