warm up cycles without a misfire condition
occurring. A warm up cycle consists of engine
start from a cold condition (engine at ambient
temperature) and running until the engine
reaches normal operating temperature.
On the fourth engine start up, the Service
Engine Soon Warning Light will turn off as soon
as the engine begins to crank. It is not necessary
to have the engine serviced.
Under certain conditions, the Service Engine
Soon light may come on if the fuel cap is not
properly installed. If the Service Engine Soon
light comes on and you suspect that the fuel cap
is not properly installed, pull off the road as
soon as it is safely possible and turn off the
engine. Remove and replace the fuel cap, making
sure it is properly seated.
After completing the three consecutive warm up
cycles and on the fourth engine start up, the
Service Engine Soon warning light should turn
off. If the light does not go off after the fourth
engine restart, have your vehicle serviced by
your dealer or a qualified technician.
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The turn signal arrow will flash to indicate the
direction in which you are going to be turning.
