Safety Belt Reminder Light - Chevrolet 2000 Prizm Owner's Manual

Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that may be
on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to your
warning lights and gages could also save you or others
from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle's functions. As you will see in
the details on the next few pages, some warning lights
come on briefly when you start the engine just to let you
know they're working. If you are familiar with this section,
you should not be alarmed when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle's functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there's a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about it. Please follow this manual's advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They're a big help.
