Capº under ªCooling Systemº in Section 7. Follow
the warnings under the paragraph.
8. Speedometer
The speedometer shows the speed of the vehicle.
9. Voltage Light
This light monitors the electrical system voltage.
The light should turn on momentarily as the
engine is started. If the light stays on or turns on while
driving, it indicates a problem with the charging system.

(ABS) which is described elsewhere in this
manual. This light will come on when the
ignition key is turned to the ON position and
may stay on for approximately three seconds. If this light
remains on or comes on during driving, it indicates that
the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not func-
tioning and that service is required. See your authorized
dealer immediately. With the ABS malfunctioning, the

The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.
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 that the correct mileage can
be determined.

the radio frequency is being displayed, timekeeping is
accurately maintained.
On the AM/FM/CD (six-disc) radio, the time button

of the two, time or frequency, is displayed.
