— Low Fuel Warning Light
When the fuel level reaches approximately 1.3–
1.8 gal (5–7 L) this light will turn on, and remain
on until fuel is added.
— Engine Check/Malfunction Indica-
tor Warning Light (MIL)
The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic System
called OBD II that monitors engine and automatic
transmission control systems. This warning light
will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON/
RUN position before engine start. If the bulb
does not come on when turning the ignition
switch from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition
checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas
cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may illuminate the light
after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced
if the light stays on through several typical driving
styles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and will not require towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to
alert serious conditions that could lead to immedi-
ate loss of power or severe catalytic converter
damage. The vehicle should be serviced by an
authorized dealer as soon as possible if this occurs.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as refer-
enced above, can reach higher temperatures
than in normal operating conditions. This can
cause a fire if you drive slowly or park over
flammable substances such as dry plants,
wood, cardboard, etc.This could result in death
or serious injury to the driver, occupants or
others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunc tion Indica-
tor Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the
vehicle 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.

The “Maintenance Plan” includes vehicle mainte-
nance at fixed intervals. For further information,

ment" settings. When the next scheduled service
