Warning Lights, Gages, And Indicators - Pontiac 2008 Vibe Owner's Manual

Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators
This section describes the warning lights and gages on
your vehicle.
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
the 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 the
details show on the next few pages, some warning lights
come on briefly when you start the engine just to let
you know they are 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 is a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays
on as 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 and even
dangerous. So get to know your vehicle's warning lights
and gages. They can be a big help.
