Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always clear
snow and ice from the hood, windshield,
washer nozzles, roof, and rear of the vehicle,
including all lamps and windows. Reduced
visibility from snow and ice buildup could

Warning lights, gauges, and indicators can
alert you to an issue with your vehicle. Some
warning lights display briefly to show that
they are working when you start the vehicle.
However, if a warning light persists while
driving, or if a gauge shows there may be
a problem, be sure to refer to the sections under
"Warning Lights, Gauges, and Indicators."
Paying attention to your vehicle's warning
