All the lights are shown and everything is explained in the manual. To save you time though the check engine / malfunction indicator looks like a engine. The service indicator looks like a wrench.

got it....

so if you see the engine, it's a CEL....

will you ever see the words "check engine" anywhere?

The CEL indicates an emissions problem only. You can do a quick check by making sure your filter is in right, your MAF sensor is attached, and that there are no blockages. If you don't see anything wrong then that you can't fix yourself, take it in to get the code read.
