Safety belt

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the ON position

to remind you to fasten your safety

belts. For more information, refer to

the Seating and safety restraints

chapter.

Door ajar

Illuminates when the ignition is in

the ON or START position and any

door is open.

Service engine soon

Your vehicle is equipped with a

computer that monitors the engine’s

emission control system. This

system is commonly known as the

On Board Diagnostics System (OBD II). The OBD II system protects the

environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet

government emission standards. The OBD II system also assists the

service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.

The indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to

the ON position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is

started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be

malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern

being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require

towing.

What you should do if the light illuminates

Light turns on solid:

This means that the OBD II system has detected a malfunction.

Temporary malfunctions may cause your light to illuminate.

Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run

poorly.)

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

Instrumentation

3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely

tightened.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank

with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly

installing and securely tightening the gas cap. After three driving cycles

without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the

light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine

startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle

service is required.

If the light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first

available opportunity.

Light is blinking:

Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter.

You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and

deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available

opportunity.

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures

could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior

floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Low fuel

Illuminates as an early reminder of a

low fuel condition indicated on the

fuel gauge (refer to Fuel gauge in

this chapter for more information).

When refueling, after the light

comes on, the amount of fuel that is added will be less than the

advertised capacity since there is fuel still in the tank. The ignition must

be in the ON position for this lamp to illuminate. The lamp will also

illuminate for several seconds after the ignition is turned to the ON

position regardless of the fuel level to ensure your bulb is working.

Low coolant (if equipped)

This lamp will illuminate when the

engine coolant inside the reservoir is

low. This lamp will come on when

the ignition is first turned on, but

then should turn off. If the lamp
