pressurized by the pump.
Please refer to "Braking" on page
4-36.
Check engine warning lamp
This lamp is a part of an onboard diag-
nostic system which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system or automat-
ic transmission control systems.
If a problem is detected in one of these
systems, this lamp illuminates.
Although your vehicle will usually be
3
drivable and not need towing, we recom-
mend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is
turned to the "ON" position. If it does
not go off after a few seconds, we recom-
mend you to have the vehicle checked.
CAUTION
l Prolonged driving with this
lamp on may cause further dam-
age to the emission control sys-
tem. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability.
l If the lamp does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is
turned to the "ON" position,
we recommend you to have the
system checked.

CAUTION
l
If the lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, avoid
driving at high speeds and we
recommend you to have the sys-
tem checked.

pedal response may be negative-
ly influenced under these condi-
tions.
NOTE
l
The engine electronic control mod-
ule accommodating the onboard di-
agnostic system has various fault
data (especially about the exhaust
emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a bat-
tery cable is disconnected which
will make a rapid diagnosis diffi-
cult. Do not disconnect a battery
cable when the check engine warn-
ing lamp is ON.
Charge warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned to the "ON" position,
and goes off after the engine has started.
CAUTION
l
If it illuminates while the en-
gine is running, there is a prob-
lem in the charging system. In
this case, immediately park
your vehicle in a safe place and
we recommend you to have it
checked.
Oil pressure warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned to the "ON" position,
and goes off after the engine has started.
If it illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, the oil pressure is too low. Turn
the engine off and have it inspected.
CAUTION
l This warning lamp does not in-
dicate the amount of oil level in
the engine. This must be deter-
mined by checking the oil level
on the dipstick, while the en-
gine is switched off.

l If this lamp illuminates when
the engine oil level is not low,
have it inspected.
l
If you continue driving with
low engine oil level or with this
warning lamp illuminated, en-
gine seizure may occur.
