Vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock brakes (ABS), are also
equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD).
In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light
will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair
to the ABS system is required.
The operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked
by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to
the ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for
approximately three 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.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is
applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. 12. Tachometer
The silver area of the scale shows the permissible engine
revolutions-per-minute (RPM x 1000) for each gear range.
Before reaching the red area, ease up on the accelerator to
prevent engine damage.
13. Shift Lever Indicator
The Shift Lever Indicator is self-contained within the
instrument cluster. It displays the gear position of the
automatic transmission.
NOTE:
You must apply the brakes before shifting from
PARK.
14. Odometer Display/Trip Odometer Display
The odometer display shows the total distance the ve-
hicle 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.
The two trip odometers show individual trip mileage. To
switch from odometer to trip odometers, press and release
the Trip Odometer button. To reset a trip odometer, display
the desired trip odometer to be reset then push and hold
the button until the display resets (approximately 2 sec-
onds). Refer to “Trip Odometer Button” for additional
information.
Vehicle Odometer Messages
When the appropriate conditions exist, the odometer will
display the following messages:
door............................. Door Ajar
dECK ...........................Trunk Ajar
LoW tirE ....................LowTirePr essure
CHANgE OIL ..............Oil Change Required
gASCAP ...................... Fuel Cap Fault
HOTOIL ......... Engine Oil Temperature Exceeds
Safe Threshold
NOTE:
If the instrument cluster is equipped with the
optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC),
then warnings such as ”Low Tire,” “Door Ajar” and “Trunk
Ajar” will display in the EVIC. (Refer to “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)” for specific messages).
