Indicator Lights  
The instrument panel has many  
indicators to give you important  
information about your vehicle.  
(Except EU models)  
Supplemental Restraint  
System (SRS) Indicator  
This indicator comes on when you  
turn the ignition switch to the ON  
(II) position. It is a reminder to you  
and your passengers to protect  
yourselves by fastening the seat  
belts. The indicator stays on until  
you fasten seat belt. The indicator  
stays off if you fasten your seat belt  
before turning on the ignition. A  
beeper also sounds if you have not  
fastened your seat belt.  
This indicator comes on when you  
turn the ignition switch to the ON  
(II) position. If it comes on at any  
other time, it indicates a potential  
problem with your front airbags or  
automatic seat belt tensioners. On  
models equipped with side airbags,  
this indicator will also alert you to a  
potential problem with your side  
airbags. For more information, see  
page 76 .  
Seat Belt Reminder  
Indicator  
(EU models)  
The seat belt system includes an  
indicator on the instrument panel  
and a beeper to remind you and your  
passengers to fasten your seat belts.  
If you turn the ignition switch to the  
ON (II) position before fastening  
your seat belt, the beeper sounds  
and the indicator flashes. If you do  
not fasten your seat belt before the  
beeper stops, the indicator stops  
flashing but remains on.  
If you do not fasten your seat belt,  
the beeper will stop after a few  
seconds but the indicator stays on  
until you do. Both the indicator and  
the beeper stay off if you fasten your  
seat belt before turning on the  
ignition switch.  
If you continue driving without  
fastening your seat belt, the beeper  
sounds and the indicator flashes  
again at regular intervals.  
On some types, the seat belt system  
does not have a reminder beeper.  
Only the indicator comes on as  
described above.

Turn Signal and Hazard Warning  
Indicators  
This indicator comes on for a few  
seconds when you turn the ignition  
switch to the ON (II) position. It will  
then go off if you have inserted a  
properly-coded ignition key. If it is  
not a properly-coded key, the  
indicator will blink and the engine  
will not start (see page 112 ).  
Low Oil Pressure  
The left or right turn signal indicator  
blinks when you signal a lane change  
or turn. If the indicator does not  
blink or blinks rapidly, it usually  
means one of the turn signal bulbs is  
burned out (see pages 328 and 329 ).  
Replace the bulb as soon as possible,  
since other drivers cannot see that  
you are signaling.

if this indicator flashes or stays on

Fuel Gauge  
FUEL GAUGE  
This shows how much fuel you have.  
It is most accurate when the vehicle  
is on level ground. It may show  
slightly more or less than the actual  
amount when you are driving on  
curvy or hilly roads.  
The needle returns to the bottom  
after you turn off the ignition switch.  
The gauge shows the fuel level  
reading immediately after you turn  
the ignition switch back to the ON  
(II) position.  
(For some types)  
Avoid driving with an extremely low  
fuel level. Running out of fuel could  
cause the engine to misfire,  
damaging the catalytic converter.
