15. Coolant Temperature Gauge
Indicates engine coolant temperature. The red
zone to the far right indicates possible overheat-
ing. Seek authorized service immediately if the
gauge operates in the red zone. In U.S. vehicles,
temperature is indicated in degrees fahrenheit; in
Canadian vehicles in degrees centigrade.
16. Airbag Warning Light
This indicator lights and remains lit for 6 to
8 seconds when the ignition is first turned
on. If the light does not come on for 6 to 8
seconds, stays on or comes on while driving,
have the airbag system checked by an authorized
dealer.
17. Check Gauges Warning Light
This light monitors the engine coolant tem-
perature, engine oil pressure, and voltage
gauges. If it detects an extreme condition a
chime will sound and the light will come on. If the
light comes on, check the operation of these gauges for
a malfunction condition.18. Malfunction Indicator Light
This light is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic
System called OBD II that monitors engine,
and automatic transmission control systems.
The light will illuminate when the ignition is in the
ON position before engine start. If the bulb does not
come on when turning the key from OFF to ON, have
the condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap,
poor quality fuel, etc. may illuminate the light after
engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light

has been opened, and will remain on for 20 seconds after
exiting the vehicle.
U.S. federal regulations require that upon transfer of
vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. There-
fore, if the odometer reading is changed during repair or
replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading
before and after the service so the correct mileage can be
determined.The trip odometer shows individual mileage up to 999.9
miles (1 600 km). To switch from odometer to trip
odometer, press the trip odometer button.
21. Anti-Lock (ABS) Warning Light
After ignition is turned on, illuminates to indi-
cate function check at vehicle start-up. If light
remains on after start-up or comes on and stays on at
road speeds, it may indicate that the ABS has detected
a malfunction or has become inoperative. The system
reverts to standard non-anti-lock brakes.
If both the red BRAKE warning light and the amber ABS
warning light are on, see your dealer immediately. Refer
to ªAnti-Lock Brake Systemº in Section 5 of this manual.
22. Brake Warning Light
After ignition is turned on, illuminates to in-
dicate function check at vehicle start-up. Indi-
cates parking brake is applied. If the light stays
on when the parking brake is off, it indicates a possible
brake system fluid leak or low pressure level,see your
authorized dealer immediately.

for approximately two seconds. The light should then
turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the
light inspected by an authorized dealer.
23. Low Fuel Warning Light
When the fuel level reaches approximately 2 U.S.
Gallons (7.6L) this light will come on and remain
on until fuel is added. The ªLow Fuel Warning
Lightº may turn on and off again, especially during
and after hard braking, accelerations, or turns. This
occurs due to the shifting of the fuel in the tank.
24. Fuel Cap Indicator
This symbol indicates the side of the vehicle
where the fuel cap is located.25. Fuel Gauge
The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank. When
the fuel gauge pointer initially moves to E, for your
safety, approximately 2 U.S. Gallons (7.6L) of fuel remain.
NOTE:When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the
fuel gauge, voltmeter, oil pressure and temperature
gauges may not show accurate readings. When the
engine is not running, turn the ignition switch to ON to
obtain accurate readings.
ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK
The clock and radio each use the display panel built into
the radio. A digital readout shows the time in hours and
minutes whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or
ACC position and the time button is pressed.
When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, or when
the radio frequency is being displayed, time keeping is
accurately maintained.

RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Broadcast Signals
Your new radio will provide excellent reception under
most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car
radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op-
eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to
believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help
you understand and save you concern about these ªap-
parentº malfunctions, you must understand a point or
two about the transmission and reception of radio sig-
nals.
Two Types of Signals
There are two basic types of radio signals... AM or
Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmitted sound
causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to
vary... and FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the
frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound.
Electrical Disturbances
Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during
transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude,
and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They
interfere very little with the frequency variations that
carry the FM signal.
AM Reception
AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception
can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines
and neon signs.
FM Reception
Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia-
tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations
can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear,
which is the major feature of FM radio.

Radio Security Code
This radio is equipped with an anti-theft feature which
requires that a four digit code number be entered when-
ever the power supply is interrupted (such as a discon-
nected battery). The four digit code can be found on the
last page of this manual. Please remove this page from
the manual and store it in a safe place outside of the
vehicle.To enter the code, turn the key to the ON or ACC position
and press the ON/VOL control. The word CODE will
appear on the display. Enter your four digit code by
pressing the appropriate preset buttons in sequence. Your
radio is now ready for basic operation.
If an invalid code is entered into the radio, the radio will
allow two more attempts. After a third attempt of enter-
ing an invalid code, the radio will go into a lockup mode.
This is to prevent continuous attempts at entering the
wrong code until the right code is found.
Once a radio is in this lockup mode, it must be in a state
where battery is applied for approximately 30 minutes.
During this time, if the radio is on, the display will show
ªWAITº. After approximately 30 minutes, (radio on)
radio will display ªCODEº thereby again querying the
operator for the 4 digit anti-theft code.
Operating Instructions - Radio Mode
NOTE:
Power to operate the radio is supplied through
the ignition switch. It must be in the ON or ACC position
to operate the radio.
