DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INSTRUMENT PANEL DESCRIPTION
Cigar Lighter
The cigar lighter is located in the front portion of the floor console. To use the lighter, push it in completely.
When the lighter is hot, it will release itself from contact with the heating element. The lighter and the heating
element can be damaged if the lighter is not allowed to release itself fully from the heating element.
Ashtray
The ashtray is located below the audio system. To access the ashtray, pull it out from the center console. The
ashtray lamp will go ON when the parking lamps or the headlamps are turned ON.
Instrument Panel Vents
The center and the side vents in the instrument panel can be adjusted up and down and from side to side. The
side vents can also be aimed toward the side windows in order to defog them.
Glove Box
The glove box can be opened by pulling up on the latch handle. The glove box must be removed in order to gain
access to the passenger's side air bag module.
Digital Clock
The digital clock is located in the instrument panel, above the audio system. The clock is capable of a 12-hour
or a 24-hour display.
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster is located above the steering column and in the instrument cluster trim panel. The
instrument cluster contains the instruments that provide the driver with vehicle performance information. The
instrument cluster contains a speedometer, an odometer, a trip odometer, a temperature gage, a fuel gage, and
several indicator lamps. For replacement of the indicator lamp bulbs contained in the instrument cluster, refer to
Bulb Usage Specifications
and Instrument Cluster Lamp Replacement .
Speedometer/Odometer/Trip Odometer
The speedometer measures the speed of the vehicle in km/h (mph). It consists of an instrument cluster gage
connected to the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) on the transaxle output shaft.
The odometer measures in kilometers (miles) the total distance the vehicle has traveled since it was
manufactured. It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the VSS on the transaxle output shaft.
The trip odometer measures the distance the vehicle has traveled since the odometer was last reset. It consists of

an instrument cluster gage connected to the VSS on the transaxle output shaft. The trip odometer can be reset to
zero at any time so that the driver can record the distance traveled from any starting point.
Fuel Gage
The fuel gage consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to a sending unit in the fuel tank.
The fuel gage indicates the quantity of fuel in the tank only when the ignition switch is turned to ON or ACC.
When the ignition is turned to LOCK or START, the pointer may come to rest at any position.
Temperature Gage
The temperature gage consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to a temperature sensor that is in contact
with the circulating engine coolant.
The temperature gage indicates the temperature of the coolant. Prolonged driving or idling in very hot weather
may cause the pointer to move beyond the center of the gage. The engine is overheating if the pointer moves
into the red zone at the upper limit of the gage.
Instrument Cluster Indicator Lamps
The instrument cluster contains indicator lamps that indicate the function of certain systems or the existence of
potential problems with the operation of the vehicle. The indicator lamps are replaceable. For replacement of
the indicator lamps contained in the instrument cluster, refer to Bulb Usage Specifications
and Instrument
Cluster Lamp Replacement .
Chime Module
The chime module is located above the instrument panel fuse block and will sound in order to bring attention to
one or more of the following conditions:
The lamps are ON, the door is ajar, and the ignition switch is not in ACC, ON, or START.
The seat belt is unbuckled when the ignition switch is in ON or START.
The door is open when the ignition switch is in ON or START.
The key is left in the ignition switch when the ignition is in LOCK and the door is open.
