17. 4WD LOW Mode Indicator — If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the
4WD LOW mode. The front and rear driveshafts
are mechanically locked together forcing the front
and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.
18. Seat Belt Reminder LightWhen the ignition switch is first turned ON, this
light will turn on for five to eight seconds as a bulb
check. During the bulb check, if the driver’s seat
belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb
check or when driving, if the driver or front passenger
seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light will flash or remain on continuously. Refer to
Occupant Restraints/Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder
System (BeltAlert) in Section 2 for more information.
19. Cruise Indicator This indicator illuminates when the speed con-
trol system is turned ON. 20. Odometer
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. If your
odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair
technician should leave the odometer reading the same
as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so,
then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must
be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was
before the repair or service. It is a good idea for you to
make a record of the odometer reading before the repair/
service, so that you can be sure that it is properly reset, or
that the door jamb sticker is accurate if the odometer
must be reset at zero.
