Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration)
and have your vehicle serviced at the first available
opportunity.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive
exhaust temperatures could damage the
catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor
coverings or other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.

reminder of a low fuel
condition indicated on
the fuel gauge. The
light comes on when there is approximately 1/16th
of a tank indicated on the fuel gauge (refer toFuel
Gaugein this chapter for more information). The

transmission control
switch has been

Under normal conditions, your vehicle's climate
control system should be left in any position other
than MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked.
This allows the vehicle to ªbreatheº through the
outside air inlet duct. In snowy or dirty conditions,
leave the mode selector in the OFF position when
the ignition is turned off.
²MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle.
MAX A/C is noisier than NORM A/C but more
economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle
faster. Airflow will be from the instrument panel
registers. This mode can also be used to reduce
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
²NORM A/C-Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. It
is quieter than MAX A/C but not as economical.
Airflow will be from the instrument panel
registers.
²VENT-Distributes outside air through the
instrument panel registers. However, the air will
not be cooled below the outside temperature
because the air conditioning does not operate in
this mode.
²OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not
operate. For short periods of time only, use this
mode to prevent undesirable odors from entering
the vehicle.
²FLR-Allows for maximum heating by distributing
outside air through the floor ducts. However, the
air will not be cooled below the outside
temperature because the air conditioning does not
operate in this mode.
²MIX-Distributes outside air through the
windshield defroster ducts and the floor ducts.
Heating and air conditioning capabilities are
provided in this mode. For added customer
comfort, when the temperature control knob is
anywhere in between the full hot and full cold
positions, the air distributed through the floor
ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent to
