PMNG BRAKE
To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with your
right
foot. Push down the parking brake pedal with your left foot. If the
ignition
is on, the brake system warning light will come on.
When you move out
of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), if your engine is
running, your parking brake should release.
If it doesn’t, you have a
parking brake problem and should have
it fixed. In the meantime, you can
manually release your parking brake as shown by the illustration below.
Pull

release lever which
is located
on the

La-mps On Reminder
If you open the door while leaving the lamps on, except when using
twilight sentinel,
you will hear a warning tone.
Interior Lamps
Turn the headlamp switch past HI to turn on the interior lamps.
Twilight Sentinel
The control is next to the headlamp switch. It automatically switches your
lamps
on and off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate the twilight
sentinel, leave
the lamp switch off and move the control to any position
but
OFF.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lamps will remain on
for
1130 seconds after you turn your engine off. If you move the control so
it is just on, the lamps will go off quickly when you turn off your engine.
You can change this delay time from only a few seconds to 180 seconds.

WMING LIGHTS
This part describes the warning lights that are 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 come 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 start the engine 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 When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
this manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information Center that works along
with the warning lights. See “Driver Information Center’’ in the Index.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
c
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will come on for about
eight seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts. The safety belt
light
will also come on and stay on for about 75 seconds. If the driver’s belt
is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light
will come on.
