For easy access to the ignition switch,
the ignition switch light comes on when
any of the doors are opened.
Vehicles with the power door lock sys-
temÐ

The light remains on for about 15 sec-
onds after all the side doors and back
door are closed.

When all the doors are locked, or when
the ignition switch is turned to ACCº
or ONº after all the side doors and
back door are closed, the light fades
out.

When any door is unlocked using ei-
ther the key or the wireless remote

To prevent the battery being discharged,
the light will automatically turn off when
the ignition switch is in the LOCKº posi-
tion and the door is left opened for 20
minutes or more.
To turn on the windshield wipers, move
the lever to the desired setting.

time interval when the wiper lever is in
the intermittent position (position 1). Twist
the band upward to increase the time be-
tween sweeps, and downward to decrease

(n) Low Windshield Washer Fluid LevelWarning Light (for vehicles sold in
Canada)
The light warns that the windshield washer
fluid level is too low. Add washer fluid at
your earliest opportunity. (For instructions,
see Adding washer fluidº on page 303 in
Section 7- 3.)
(o) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder Light (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.)
This light acts as a reminder to replace
the engine oil.
This light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to ONº and will go off after
about a few seconds.
When you drive for about 7200 km (4500
miles) after the engine oil replacement,
this light illuminates for about 3 seconds
and then flashes for about 12 seconds
with the ignition key turned to the ONº
position. If you continue driving without
replacing the engine oil, and if the dis-
tance driven exceeds 8000 km (5000
miles), the light will come on after the
ignition key is turned to ONº position.
The light will remain on thereafter. If the light is flashing, we recommend that
you replace the engine oil at an early
opportunity depending on the driving and
road conditions. If the light comes on,
replace it as soon as possible.
The system must be reset after the en-
gine oil replacement. Reset the system by
the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition key to the OFFº posi- tion with the odometer reading shown.
(For details, see Odometer and two
trip metersº on page 108 in this Sec-
tion.)
2. Turn the ignition key to the ONº posi- tion while holding down the trip meter
reset knob.
Hold down the knob for at least 5 sec-
onds. The odometer indicates 000000º
and the light goes off.
If the system fails to reset, the light will
continue flashing.
(p) Key Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer acts as a reminder to remove
the key when you open the driver's door
with the ignition key in the ACCº or
LOCKº position. (q) Light Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer will sound if the headlight
switch is left on and the driver's door is
opened with the key removed from the
ignition switch.
