This light normally comes on f or a
f ew seconds when you turn the
ignition switch ON (II), and when
the ignition switch is turned to
START (III). If this light comes on at

normal braking ability but no anti-

On Canadian models, this indicator
comes on with reduced brightness

inf ormation on the headlight
controls.
WhenyouturnontheHazard
Warning switch, both turn signal
lights blink. All turn signals on the outside of the car should f lash.
The lef t or right turn signal light
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If the light does not blink or
blinks rapidly, it usually means one
of the turn signal bulbs is burned out
(see page ). Replace the bulb as
soon as possible, since other drivers
cannot see that you are signalling. This light comes on as a reminder
that you must ref uel soon.
This light comes on if either door or
the hatch is not closed tightly.
