Odometer

[IS25189( GV)03/96]
The odometer tells you the total number of miles
or kilometers your vehicle has been driven. If
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.

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.

[CF39300( GV)01/96]
The electronic day/night mirror will change
from the normal state to the non-glare state
when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. This
mirror functions at night, and has a limited
function at dusk or dawn. From the non-glare
state, the mirror will return to the normal state
after a short delay. The delay starts when the
glare goes away. The delay prevents excessive
changing of the mirror as traffic moves behind
and around the vehicle, or on rolling hills and
curves.
