Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning Light
If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, the anti-lock brake
system (ABS) warning light will come on briey, as a
check, when you start your vehicle. If it doesn’t, have your
vehicle serviced so that the light works properly when it
needs to.
The ABS light is located
in the instrument panel
cluster, to the left of
the engine coolant
temperature gage.If the light stays on longer than a few seconds after you
start your engine, or comes on and stays on while you
are driving, try resetting the system. To reset the system,
do the following:
1. If you are driving, pull over when it is safe to do so.
2. Be sure the vehicle is in PARK (P).
3. Turn off the ignition.
4. Then restart the engine.
If the light remains on after resetting the system or comes
on again while driving, your vehicle needs service. If the
ABS light is on, but the regular brake system warning light
is not on, you do not have anti-lock brakes, but you still
have regular brakes. Have your vehicle serviced right
away. If both brake lights are on, you do not have
anti-lock brakes, and there’s a problem with your regular
brakes as well. Have your vehicle towed for service.
SeeTowing Your Vehicle on page 4-36.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come on
briey when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light
does not come on then, have it xed so it will be ready to
warn you if there is a problem.

Boost Gage
If your vehicle is equipped with this gage, it is located
on the steering column.
This gage indicates vacuum during light to moderate
throttle and boost under heavier throttle.
This gage displays the air pressure level in the intake
manifold before it enters the engine’s combustion
chamber.
This gage is automatically centered at zero every time
the ignition is turned to RUN. Actual vacuum or boost
is displayed from this zero point.The boost gage is also equipped with three pairs of
lights that are located on each side of the gage. These
lights are used to indicate three different engine rpm
levels. The default setting for the lower pair of lights is
4,400 rpm, the middle pair of lights is 5,600 rpm, and the
top pair of lights is 6,200 rpm. These settings can be
adjusted by turning the stem behind each light. To have
the light pair come on at a higher rpm level, turn the stem
counterclockwise. To have the light pair come on at a
lower rpm level, turn the stem clockwise. Each turn
adjusts the settings by 100 rpm. To restore the default
settings, press and hold any stem for three seconds.
The lights will ash three times.
To turn the lights off or on, press and release any stem.Message Center
The message center is located in the instrument
panel cluster. It gives you important safety and
maintenance facts.
If there are several messages, each message will be
shown for a few seconds and will continue to repeat until
cleared. To clear a message, press the trip/reset button
while the message you want to clear is being displayed.
Many messages will also cause a chime to sound, to
