Your speedometer lets
you see your speed
in
both miles per hour
(mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows
how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles
(used
in the U.S.) or kilometers (used in Canada).
Tamper Resistant Odometer
Standard Cluster Tachometer Cluster
Your odometer is tamper resistant. It will show silver lines between the
numbers if someone tries to turn
it back.
You may wonder what happens
if your vehicle needs a new odometer
installed.
If the new one can be set to the mileage total of the old odometer,
then it must be. But
if it can’t, then it’s set at zero, and a label must be put
on the driver’s door to show the old mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed.

Standard Cluster
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has been driven since
you last set the trip odometer to zero. Make sure the button is completely
depressed.
TO set the trip odometer to zero, completely push the button near the
readout.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpmj.
Each tachometer has
a different limit depending on the powertrain in your
vehicle. The tachometer has three areas: normal operating range, red
warning range, and red danger range.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Normal operating range shows your engine speed during normal driving
conditions. For example, when the needle points
to 2, it means the engine is
running at
2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer needle will
vary all the time that the engine is running.
The red warning range tells you that your engine speed is reaching its upper
limits. Don’t drive very long with the tachometer in the red warning range.
If you have a manual transmission, shift to a higher gear as soon as possible.
If you have an automatic transmission, lift your foot off of the accelerator
pedal. If
you drive for very long with the tachometer in the red danger
range, engine damage will result.
I NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the red range,
or engine damage
will occur.
The red danger range tells you that your engine speed is at its upper limits.
You should immediately shift to a higher gear, or lift your
foot off of the
accelerator pedal. If you drive for very long with the tachometer in the red
danger range, engine damage will result.
Warning Lights and Indicators
This part 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 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.
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 this 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.

When the key is turned to RUN or START, a tone will come on for about
eight seconds
to remind people to fasten their safety belts, unless the
driver’s safety belt
is already buckled. The safety belt light will also come
on and stay on for about 20 seconds, then it will flash for about 55 seconds.
If the driver’s belt is already buckled, neither the tone nor the light will
come on.
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows
AIR
BAG. The system checks the air bag’s electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem.
The
system check includes the air bag sensors and module, the wiring and the
diagnostic module. For more information on the air bag system, see “Air
Bag” in the Index.
2-57

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You will see this light flash for a few seconds when you turn your ignition
to RUN or START. Then the light should go out. This means the system is
ready.
If the air bag readiness light doesn’t come
on when you start your vehicle,
or stays on, or comes
on when you are driving, your air bag system may not
work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away.
Brake System Warning Light
-1
BRAKE
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.
Your vehicle also has rear-wheel or four-wheel anti-lock brakes. See
“Anti-Lock Brakes” in the Index. If the warning light comes on, there could
be a brake problem with either your regular or rear-wheel anti-lock brakes,
or both. Have your brake system inspected right away.
This light should come
on briefly 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.)
2-58

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 (Option)
If your vehicle has four-wheel anti-lock brakes, it will have this yellow
light.
With the anti-lock brake system, this light will come 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.
