The light may occasionally flicker when
the engine is idling or it may come on
briefly after a hard stop. There is no
cause for concern if it then goes out when
the engine is accelerated slightly.
The light may come on when the oil level
is extremely low. It is not designed to
indicate low oil level, and the oil level
must be checked using the level dipstick.
Do not drive the vehicle with the
warning light on—even for one block.
It may ruin the engine.

This lamp comes on when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position and

means that the warning light system is
operating properly.
If the lamp remains on, or the lamp
comes on while driving, first check the
followings.

This light comes on when the fuel level
in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.

ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.

after, if the system malfunctions, the light
comes on again.
When the "ABS" warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the

ventionally.
