WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Low fuel

Illuminates as an early reminder of a
low fuel condition indicated on the
fuel gauge (refer to Fuel Gauge in
this chapter for more information).
When refueling, after the light
comes on, the amount of fuel that is added will be less than the
advertised capacity since there is fuel still in the tank. The ignition must
be in the ON position for this lamp to illuminate. The lamp will also
illuminate for several seconds after the ignition is turned to the ON
position regardless of the fuel level to ensure your bulb is working.

Service engine soon (California only)

Your vehicle is equipped with a
computer that monitors the engine’s
emission control system. This
system is commonly known as the
On Board Diagnostics System (OBD
II). This OBD II system protects the
environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet
government emission standards. The OBD II system also assists the
service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.

The Service Engine Soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is
first turned to the ON position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the
engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be
malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern
being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require
towing.

What you should do if the Service Engine Soon light illuminates

Light turns on solid:

This means that the OBD II system has detected a malfunction.

Temporary malfunctions may cause your Service Engine Soon light to
illuminate. Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run
poorly.)

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely
tightened.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank
with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly
installing and securely tightening the gas cap. After three driving cycles
without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the Service
Engine Soon light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold
engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional
vehicle service is required.

If the Service Engine Soon light remains on, have your vehicle serviced
at the first available opportunity.

Light is blinking:

Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter.
You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available
opportunity.

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior

floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.
