Maintenance Tips/Suggestions: Take the time to review your vehicle’s owner’s manual so you have a clear understanding of what the instruments and warning lights represent. Many warning lights come on when the ignition switch is turned to the on position as a bulb check. Generally, a light that stays on or comes on while driving means a problem in that system. Problems with instruments usually fall into two categories: instruments that don’t work and instruments that display inaccurate readings. Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the location of the instrument fuses to see if a fuse is the cause. If the fuses are OK, have your vehicle’s instruments checked by a qualified service technician.
