INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION

1. Malfunction Indicator Light

This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system

which monitors the emissions and engine control

system. If the vehicle is ready for emissions

testing the light will come on when the ignition is first

turned on and remain on, as a bulb check, until the

engine is started. If the vehicle is not ready for emissions

testing the light will come on when the ignition is first

turned on and remain on for 15 seconds, then blink for 5

seconds, and remain on until the vehicle is started. If the

bulb does not come on during starting, have the condi-

tion investigated promptly.

If this light comes on and remains on while driving, it

suggests a potential engine control problem and the need

for system service.

Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not

need towing, see your dealer for service as soon as

possible.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause

damage to the engine control system. It also could

affect fuel economy and driveability.

If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter

damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate

service is required.
