Pedestrian Safety Signal
Your vehicle is equipped with an

The automatic sound is generated
to indicate the vehicle presence to
pedestrians. The sound changes if
the vehicle is speeding up or
slowing down. It is activated when
the vehicle is shifted into a forward
gear or R (Reverse), up to 30 km/h
(19 mph). An alert can also be sounded
manually while driving, such as in

people who may not hear your
vehicle approaching.
At speeds less than 64 km/h
(40 MPH), to manually sound the
pedestrian safety signal:
1. Pull the turn signal lever all the
way toward you momentarily.
See Exterior Lamp Controls on
page 6-1 andHeadlamp High/

will momentarily sound. When
the turn signal lever is released,
the high-beam headlamps and
indicator light will turn off.
2. Repeat for additional activations of the pedestrian safety signal.

begins to flash again, follow the
previous steps and see your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
Light On Steady:An emission
control system malfunction has
been detected on the vehicle.
Diagnosis and service might be
required.
The following may correct an
emission control system
malfunction:
.Check that the fuel cap is fully
installed. The diagnostic system
can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly
installed. A loose or missing fuel
cap allows fuel to evaporate into
the atmosphere. A few driving
trips with the cap properly
installed should turn the light off.
.Check that good quality fuel is
used. Poor fuel quality causes
the engine not to run as
efficiently as designed and may
cause stalling after start-up or
misfiring. These conditions might
go away once the engine is
warmed up.
If one or more of these
conditions occurs, change the
fuel brand used. It may require
at least one full tank of the
proper fuel to turn the light off.
If none of the above have made the
light turn off, your dealer can check
the vehicle. The dealer has the
proper test equipment and
diagnostic tools to fix any
mechanical or electrical problems
that might have developed.
Emissions Inspection and
Maintenance Programs
Depending on where you live, your
vehicle may be required to
participate in an emission control
system inspection and maintenance
program. For the inspection, the emission system test equipment will
likely connect to the vehicle's Data
Link Connector (DLC).
The DLC is under the instrument
panel to the left of the steering
wheel. See your dealer if assistance
is needed.
The vehicle may not pass
inspection if:
.The malfunction indicator lamp is
on while the vehicle is in ON/
RUN, or if the vehicle is placed
in Service Only Mode and the
malfunction indicator lamp does
not come on. See your dealer for
assistance in verifying proper
operation of the malfunction
indicator lamp.
