INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTIONS
1. Tachometer
The red segments indicate the maxi-
mum permissible engine revolutions
per minute (RPM x 1000) for each
gear range. Before reaching the red
area, ease up on the accelerator.
2. Front Fog Light Indicator (for
versions/markets, where provided)This indicator will illuminate
when the front fog lights are
on.
3. Park/Headlight ON Indicator
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided)
This indicator will illumi-
nate when the park lights or
headlights are turned on. 4. Turn Signal Indicators
The arrow will flash with the
exterior turn signal when the
turn signal lever is operated.
If the vehicle is driven 1.6 km with
either turn signal on, a continuous
chime will sound to alert you to turn
the signal off. If either indicator
flashes at a rapid rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb.
5. High Beam Indicator
This indicator shows that the
high beam headlights are on.
Push the multifunction lever forward
to switch the headlights to high beam,
and pull toward yourself (normal po-
sition) to return to low beam.
6. Odometer Display / Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
Display (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Odometer Display / Trip Odometer
Display The odometer display 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.
This also displays Trip A and Trip B,
DTE, MPG or L/100km, OAT (Out-
side Air Temperature) information to
Base Cluster, use STEP and RESET
button (on steering wheel) to access or
reset the display.168

Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) Display — If
Equipped
The Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) features a driver-
interactive display that is located in
the instrument cluster. For further in-
formation, refer to “Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC)”.
7. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) LightThis light monitors the
Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS). The light will turn
on when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON/RUN position and
may stay on for as long as four sec-
onds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on
while driving, it indicates that the
Anti-Lock portion of the brake sys-
tem is not functioning and that service
is required. However, the conven-
tional brake system will continue to
operate normally if the BRAKE warn-
ing light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake sys-
tem should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of
Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light
does not turn on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion, have the light inspected by an
authorized dealer.
8. Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Each tire, including the
spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the in-
flation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Ac-
cordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stop-
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the tell-
tale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously170

illuminated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is il-
luminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warn-
ing have been established for the
tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when us-
ing replacement equipment that is(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire seal-
ant from a can or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors
may result.
9. Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an on-
board diagnostic system,
called OBD, that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control sys-
tems. The light will illuminate when
the key is in the ON/RUN position,
before engine start. If the bulb does
not come on when turning the key
from OFF to ON/RUN, have the con-
dition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or
missing gas cap, poor fuel quality,
etc., may illuminate the MIL after en-
gine start. The vehicle should be ser-
viced if the light stays on through
several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and will not require
towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service
is required.WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic con-
verter, as referenced above, can
reach higher temperatures than in
normal operating conditions. This
can cause a fire if you drive slowly
or park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, card-
board, etc. This could result in
death or serious injury to the driver,
occupants or others.

16. Shift Lever Indicator
The Shift Lever Indicator is self-
contained within the instrument clus-
ter. It displays the gear position of the
automatic transmission.
NOTE:
You must apply the brakes be-fore shifting from PARK.
The highest available transmis-
sion gear is displayed in the
lower right corner of the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC) whenever the Elec-
tronic Range Select (ERS) feature
is active. Use the +/- selector on
the shift lever to activate ERS.
Refer to “Automatic Transmis-
sion” in “Starting And Operat-
ing” for further information.17. Vehicle Security Light (for
versions/markets, where provided) This light will flash at a fast
rate for approximately 15
seconds, when the vehicle
security alarm is arming,
and then will flash slowly until the
vehicle is disarmed. 18. Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the brake light turns on
it may indicate that the parking brake
is applied, that the brake fluid level is
low, or that there is a problem with the
anti-lock brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the park-
ing brake has been disengaged, and
the fluid level is at the full mark on the
master cylinder reservoir, it indicates
a possible brake hydraulic system
malfunction or that a problem with
the Brake Booster has been detected
by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
/ Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system. In this case, the light will re-
main on until the condition has been
corrected. If the problem is related to
the brake booster, the ABS pump will
run when applying the brake and a
brake pedal pulsation may be felt dur-
ing each stop.
The dual brake system provides a re-
serve braking capacity in the event of
a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the
dual brake system is indicated by the
Brake Warning Light, which will turn
on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a
specified level.
The light will remain on until the
cause is corrected.
NOTE: The light may flash mo-
mentarily during sharp cornering
maneuvers, which change fluid
level conditions. The vehicle
should have service performed,
and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immedi-
ate repair is necessary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake
light on is dangerous. Part of the
brake system may have failed. It
will take longer to stop the vehicle.
You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.
173

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock
Brake System (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.
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 two sec-
onds. 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 ig-
nition switch in the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
NOTE: This light shows only
that the parking brake is applied.
It does not show the degree of
brake application.19. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is
first turned to ON/RUN, this
light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check. During
the bulb check, if the driver or front
passenger's seat belt is unbuckled, a
chime will sound. After the bulb
check or when driving, if the driver's
seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will illuminate
and the chime will sound. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information.
20. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading
within the normal range indicates
that the engine cooling system is op-
erating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate
a higher temperature when driving in
hot weather, up mountain grades, or
when towing a trailer. It should not be
allowed to exceed the upper limits of
the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling
system could damage your vehicle.
If the temperature gauge reads “H”
pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle
the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the “H” and you
hear continuous chimes, turn the
engine off immediately and call an
authorized studio for service.WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dan-
gerous. You or others could be
badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an
authorized dealer for service if your
vehicle overheats. If you decide to
look under the hood yourself, see
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”. Fol-
low the warnings under the Cooling
System Pressure Cap paragraph.

ing cycles, the engine and exhaust
after-treatment system may never
reach the conditions required to re-
move the trapped PM. If this occurs
the “Exhaust System Regeneration
Required Now” message will be
displayed on the EVIC. By driving
your vehicle at highway speeds for
as little as 30 minutes, you can rem-
edy the condition in the particulate
filter system by allowing the
trapped PM to be removed to re-
store the system to normal operat-
ing condition.

The engine oil level must be checked
under the hood.
Charging System LightThis light shows the status of
the electrical charging system.
The light should come on when the
ignition switch is first turned ON and
remain on briefly as a bulb check. If
the light stays on or comes on while
driving, turn off some of the vehicle's
non-essential electrical devices or in-
crease engine speed (if at idle). If the
charging system light remains on, it
means that the vehicle is experiencing
a problem with the charging system.
Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
See an authorized dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Starting Procedures” in “What
To Do In Emergencies”. Electronic Throttle Control
(ETC) Light
This light informs you of a

Throttle Control (ETC) sys-
tem. The light will come on
when the ignition is first turned ON
and remain on briefly as a bulb check.
If the light does not come on during
starting, have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
If a problem is detected, the light will
come on while the engine is running.
Cycle the ignition key when the ve-
hicle has completely stopped and the
shift lever is placed in the PARK posi-
tion. The light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine
running, your vehicle will usually be
drivable. However, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.
If the light is flashing when the engine
is running, immediate service is re-
quired. You may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle
or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing. Engine Temperature Warning
Light
This light warns of an over-
heated engine condition. As
temperatures rise and the gauge ap-
proaches H,this indicator will illumi-
nate and a single chime will sound
after reaching a set threshold. Further
overheating will cause the tempera-
ture gauge to pass H,a continuous
chime will occur until the engine is
allowed to cool.
If the light turns on while driving,
safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If
the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also,
shift the transmission into NEUTRAL
and idle the vehicle. If the tempera-
ture reading does not return to nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately
and call for service. Refer to “If Your
