the cluster is replaced, and the accumulated
mileage on the odometer is unknown, the
replacement cluster will have the circled ªSº
illuminated with zero miles on the odometer. If
the actual vehicle mileage can be verified, then
an authorized service center can program the
actual mileage into the odometer of the
replacement cluster. The actual mileage (if
known) or an estimated mileage (if unknown) is
shown on a label affixed on the door pillar.

This function estimates how many miles or
kilometers you can drive with the fuel remaining
in your tank under standard driving conditions.
*
[IS29500( GV)12/95]
Remember to turn off the ignition when filling
up with fuel. Otherwise, the display will not
show the addition of fuel for a few miles.

[IS29700( GV)12/95]
When you have approximately 50 miles (80 km)
left before you run out of fuel, the DTE function
will flash for five (5) seconds and sound a tone
for one (1) second. The message center will
remain in the DTE function until you push the
select button to change it. This low fuel warning
also happens at 25 miles (40 km), and 10 miles
(16 km).
*
[IS29800( GV)12/95]
Displayed DTE will not be equal to AVG ECON
multiplied by the FUEL REMAIN value. This is
because DTE is calculated using a method that
takes into consideration the fuel economy of the
last 500 miles (800 Km) driven.

Anti-Lock Brake System Light
(If equipped)
*
[IS34600( GV)03/96]
This warning light will go on each time you
start your vehicle. If it remains on for longer
than 5 seconds, you should shut off your engine
and restart. If the anti-lock brake light stays on,
this indicates that the anti-lock feature is
disabled and should receive immediate attention
by a qualified service technician. Normal braking
is not affected unless the brake warning light is
also lit.
*
[IS34700( GV)03/96]
The Anti-Lock Brake System has self-check
capabilities. As previously described, the system
turns on the anti-lock light each time you start
your engine. After the engine is started and the
anti-lock light is out, the system performs
another test the first time the vehicle reaches
14 mph (22 km/h). The system turns on the
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) pump motor for
approximately 1/2 second. At this time a
mechanical noise may be heard. This is a normal
part of the self-check feature. If a malfunction is
found during this check the anti-lock light will
come on.
