independent of the odometer it will not always
advance to the next mile (kilometer) at the same
time as the odometer.

Battery Voltage Gauge (If Equipped)
*
[LG16225( ALL)05/94]
This gauge shows you the battery voltage when
the ignition key is in the ON position.
*
[LG16230( ALL)05/94]
If the battery is operating under cold weather
conditions, the pointer may indicate in the upper
range of the NORMAL band while the battery is
charging. If you are running electrical accessories
(when the engine is off, or idling at a low
speed), the pointer may move toward the lower
end of the NORMAL band.
*
[LG16260( ALL)05/94]
If it stays outside the NORMAL band, have your
vehicle's electrical system checked as soon as it
is safely possible.

The Electronic Cluster
*
[LG23900( GV)01/95]
The electronic cluster works only when your
ignition is in the ON position. Each time you
start your vehicle, the displays go through a
self-test by flashing on and off once before the
actual readings are displayed. (Neither the turn
signals nor the high beam indicator light will
flash like the other indicators do for the
self-test.) Some of the warning lights will flash
on and remain on (will not immediately flash
off) until the normal cluster display is lit. This
self-test is used to indicate that all of the
warning/indicator lights are working properly.
*
[LG24000( GV)01/95]
Your electronic cluster tells you about the
condition of your vehicle by using two types of
equipment:

If only the top two and bottom two bars appear
on the gauge, then the system is indicating that
it requires servicing. Contact your dealer for
service as soon as possible.

[LG27810( GV)03/95]
The light comes on briefly when you turn the
ignition key toON, but it should turn off when
the engine starts. If the light does not come on
when you turn the ignition toONor if it comes
on and stays on when you are driving, have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. This
indicates a possible problem with one of the
vehicle's emission control systems. You do not
need to have your vehicle towed in.
*
[LG27815( GV)04/95]
If the light turns on and off at one (1) second
intervals while you are driving the vehicle, it
means that the engine is misfiring. If this
condition persists, damage could occur to the
engine or catalytic convertor. Have your vehicle
serviced at the first opportunity. You do not
need to have your vehicle towed in.
*
[LG27820( GV)03/95]
If the light turns on and off on rare occasions
while you are driving, it means that a
malfunction occurred and the condition corrected
itself.
*
[LG27825( GV)03/95]
An example of a condition which corrects itself
occurs when an engine running out of fuel
begins to misfire. In this case, the Check Engine
Warning Light may turn on and will then set a
Diagnostic Trouble Code indicating that the
engine was misfiring while the last of the fuel
was being consumed. After refueling, the Check
Engine Warning Light will turn off after the
vehicle has completed three consecutive warm
up cycles without a misfire condition occurring.
A warm up cycle consists of engine start from a
cold condition (engine at ambient temperature)
and running until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature.
*
[LG27850( GV)03/95]
On the fourth engine start up, the Check Engine
Warning Light will turn off as soon as the
engine begins to crank. It is not necessary to
have the engine serviced.

Charging System Warning Light
*
[LG28105( GV)01/95]
This light comes on when you turn your ignition
key from OFF to ON. The light should go out
when the engine starts and the alternator begins
to charge.
*
[LG28106( GV)01/95]
If this light stays on or comes on while your
engine is running, this tells you that your
battery is not being charged and that you need
to have the electrical system checked as soon as
possible.

Engine Oil Pressure Light
[LG28109( GV)10/90]
one inch art:0010532-A[LG28110( GV)06/93]
This light indicates the engine oil pressure, not
the oil level. However, if your engine's oil level
is low, it could affect the oil pressure. The light
should come on every time your ignition key is
turned to ON or START, and should go out
when the engine starts. If the light stays on or
turns on while the engine is running, you have
lost oil pressure andcontinued operation will
cause severe engine damage.

Fuel Gauge
[LG30810( GV)03/94]

The fuel gauge tells you approximately how
many gallons/liters of fuel you have in the tank.
[LG30870( GV)03/93]
When your tank reaches 1/8 or approximately
2 gallons (8 liters), a flashing fuel pump will
appear.
[LG30880( GV)03/92]
Turn the ignition switch off while fueling to
obtain an accurate fuel gauge indication.

72 [LG30885( GV)05/94]NOTE: At least 2.5 gallons (9.5 liters) of fuel
must be added for the fuel gauge to
immediately show the new level of
fuel. If less than 2.5 gallons (9.5 liters)
of fuel is added, the gauge will reach
the new level slowly.
[LG30890( GV)10/90]
If the fuel gauge displays only the top two bars
and the bottom two bars, or, if fuel remaining or
distance to empty functions display CO or CS,
then there is a problem. Take your vehicle in for
service.
[LG30900( GV)03/92]
When you turn the ignition key to the ON or
ACC position, all the display segments will light
up, then go off for a second indicating the gauge
is working. Then the gauge will show you how
much fuel you have in the tank.

[LG31200( GV)01/95]
This function shows you how many gallons
(liters) of fuel you have left in the fuel tank.
[LG31300( GV)03/94]
If your fuel level is above 20 gallons (76 liters),
the letter ªFº (full) will appear on the display.
But if your fuel level has dropped to below
1 gallon (4 liters), the letter ªEº (empty) will
appear in the display.
*
[LG31400( GV)01/95]
Because of factors like rounding of numbers and
fuel movement in the tank, your fuel gauge and
the service station fuel pump readings may
disagree slightly.
