Tire Pressure Light

This light comes on briefly when the
engine is started.
This light will also come on when one or
more of your tires are significantly underin-
flated.
A tire pressure message in the Driver Infor-
mation Center (DIC), may accompany the
light. Refer to "DIC Warning and Mes-
sages" in this section for more information.
Stop and check your tires as soon as it is
safe to do so. If underinflated, inflate to the
proper pressure. Refer to "Tires" in the
"Service and Appearance Care" section for
more information.
If a problem is detected with the Tire Pres-
sure Monitor System, this light will flash for
approximately 60 seconds and then stay
on solid for the remainder of the ignition
cycle.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp

Check Engine Light
A computer system called OBD II (On-
Board Diagnostics-Second Generation)
monitors operation of the fuel, ignition, and
emission control systems. It makes sure
that emissions are at acceptable levels for
the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a
1198521
cleaner environment.
The check engine light comes on to indi-
cate that there is an OBD II problem and
service is required. Malfunctions often are
indicated by the system before any prob-
lem is apparent. This can prevent more
serious damage to your vehicle. This sys-
tem is also designed to assist your service
technician in correctly diagnosing any mal-
function.
CAUTION
If you keep driving your vehicle with
this light on, after a while, the emis-
sion controls might not work as well,
your vehicle's fuel economy might
not be as good, and the engine might
not run as smoothly. This could lead
to costly repairs that might not be
covered by your warranty.
CAUTION
Modifications made to the engine,
transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel
system of your vehicle or the replace-
ment of the original tires with other
805353
than those of the same Tire Perfor-
mance Criteria (TPC) can affect your
vehicle's emission controls and can
cause this light to come on. Modifica-
tions to these systems could lead to
costly repairs not covered by your
warranty. This could also result in a
failure to pass a required Emission
Inspection/Maintenance test. Refer to
"Accessories and Modifications" in
"Service"
in
Appearance Care" section.
This light comes on, as a check to show it
is working, when the ignition is turned ON/
RUN but the engine is not running. If the
light does not come on, have it repaired.
