Malfunction Indicators
Malfunction Indicators
Indicators briefly appear with each engine start and then go out. Red and amber indicators are most critical. Blue and green indicators are used for general information.
These are the most critical indicators. If they come on and stay lit while driving or at any other time, there may be a problem. See your dealer if necessary.
