Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t flash but just
stay on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your
turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows
don’t go on at ail when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.

odometer)
go between English and metric.
Trip Odometer
You can tell how far

last set it back to zero.
To reset, push and hold
the button until it

If your vehicle

odometer will return
to zero after 1999.9 km (1242 miles).
Odometer
You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. The new one may read the correct mileage. This is because your
car’s computer has stored the mileage in memory.
If it isn’t stored, then
this odometer is set at zero, but
a label on the driver’s door must show the
old reading and when the new one was installed.
‘WARNING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that may be on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention
to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights
go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.

This message is a reminder, after driving about a mile that you have your
turn
signal on.
TRUNK OPEN
This message indicates that your trunk is opcn when the Ignition is ON.
VERY LOW REFRIGERANT
This message means that the Air Conditioning system detects a
refrigerant level that is low enough to cause damage to the A/C
compressor.
To avoid damage, the A/C compressor automatically turns
off and the Electronic Climate Control will automatically switch from
“AUTO” to “ECON” and remain there. Have your
A/C system serviced if
this message appears.
Speed Sensitive Steering (SSS)
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering is easier at
a lower speed for increased
maneuverability and parking ease.
As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort
is also increased proportionately. At highway speeds the
amount
of steering effort is greatly increased to provide a manual like
steering feel for maximum control
an enhanced vehicle stability.
Road Sensing Suspension (Northstar Only)
The Road Sensing Suspension automatically controls the ride of your
vehicle.
The system controls damping forces in the shock absorbers and
struts in response to various road and driving conditions. The system is
capable
of making these changes within milli-seconds.
The
Road Sensing Suspension controller is a computer used to control
and monitor the system. The computer receives inputs from vertical
acceleration sensors, wheel
to body position sensors, vehicle speed
sensor, lift and dive signals, and determines optimum strut valving or
(suspension stiffness) for your current operating conditions.
The
computer also receives feedback from the various components to
determine proper system operation. If the computer receives an incorrect
feedback from the system, an error code will be
set in memory and a
“SERVICE RIDE CONTROC’ message will display on the Driver
