If you have this feature, your rear axle can give you additional traction on
snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle most of the
time, but when one of the rear wheels has no traction and the other does, the
locking feature will allow the wheel with traction
to move the vehicle.

you last set the trip odometer to zero.
Make sure the button is completely

To set the trip odometer on the standard cluster to zero, fully depress the
button near the readout.
The trip odometer on
the digital cluster will appear in place of your regular
odometer when
you press down on the Trip button. To reset the trip
odometer
on the digital cluster, press down on the Reset button. To change
back
to the regular odometer, press down on the Trip button again.

NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the red area,
or engine damage may occur.
Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This section describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your
vehicle. The pictures
will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it
becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or replacement.
Paying attention
to your warning lights and gages 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.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let
you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you
know when there’s
a problem with your vehicle.
When
one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, or when
one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the
section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow the manual’s advice.
Waiting
to do repairs can be costly - and even dangerous. So please get to
know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part
isn’t working,
the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking,
though,
you need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
This light should come
on as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on
then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
If
the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop
carefully.
You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle’’
in the Index.)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The brake system warning light will also come on when you set your
parking brake, and it will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully.
If it stays on after your parking brake
is fully released, it means you have a
brake problem.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
ANTI -
LOCK
With anti-lock, this light will go on when you start your engine and may
stay on for several seconds. That’s normal.
If the light doesn’t come on,
have
it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on, or comes
on when you’re driving, your vehicle needs
service.
If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have
brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system
warning light
is also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a
problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light’’
earlier in this
part.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Indicator Lights
Indicator lights go on when you use your turn signals, change from low
beam headlights to high beams, or when you use
your hazard flashers. The
next few pages will also
tell you about the indicator lights on your vehicle
and help you locate them.
Charging System Light
The charging system
light is
on your
instrument cluster and
will come
on briefly
when
you turn on the
ignition, but the
engine is
not running,
as a check to show
you it
is working.
It should go out once the engine is running. If it stays on, or comes on while
you are driving, you may have a problem with the charging system. It could
indicate that you have problems with
a generator drive belt, or another
electrical problem. Have
it checked right away. Driving while this light is on
could drain your battery.
If
you must drive a short distance with the light on, be certain to turn off all
your accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner.
If you have the
standard cluster, this
Check Gages light
will come on briefly
when you are starting
the engine. If the light
comes
on and stays on
while you are driving,
check your various
gages to see
if they are
in the warning zones.
