2-46 Convenience Net (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You'll see it
on the back wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops.
The net isn't for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when
you're not using it. You can also push the net down and
hook it under the plastic hooks.

assembly will be in a plastic bag placed in the center
console storage area. The ashtray is available upon

needed, insert the ashtray and holder into the stationary,
open cupholder in front of the shift lever.
The lighter outlet is located behind a flip
-out door below
the heating and air conditioning controls.

You can also swing them from front to side. The visors
have extenders that you can pull out for added coverage.

CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly
if the brake system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light on can lead
to an accident. If the light is still on after you've
pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.
When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will also come on when you set your parking brake. The
light 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.
A warning chime will sound if your parking brake is set
and the gear shift is not in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
United States Canada
With the anti
-lock brake system, this light will come on
when you start your engine and it will stay on for
three seconds. That's normal.
If the anti
-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you've started your engine, turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you're driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you're driving, your vehicle needs service. If the
light is on and the regular brake system warning light
isn't on, you still have brakes, but you don't have
anti
-lock brakes. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The anti
-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to ON. If the
light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.

2-68 Security Light
This light will come on
when you turn the key to
ON and will stay on until
the engine starts.
If you're driving and the SECURITY light comes on
and stays on, your Passlock
system is not working
properly. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock and
you should see your dealer.
Cruise Light
The CRUISE light comes
on whenever you set your
cruise control. See ªCruise
Controlº in the Index.
Low Washer Fluid Light
This light will come on
when your ignition is on to
check the bulb and will
come on when your washer
fluid is low.

airflow. Each button has an indicator which will glow
when the button is pressed.
