ESC System Disabled•What Does It Mean
By placing the ignition in the MAR/RUN
position, the indicator light illuminates, but
should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
The warning light will come on to indicate
the safety systems have been partially or
totally disabled. For more information of the system,
refer to Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in the
Safety section.
By reactivating the ESC system, the light goes out.
Engine Malfunction •What Does It Mean
The light is an integral part of the diagnos-
tic system of the vehicle, called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emis-
sions, engine, and automatic transmission control
systems.
The light comes on briefly (as a bulb check) when the
ignition is turned to the MAR/RUN. If the light does
not illuminate, it means that there is a failure.
In some conditions, such as the poor quality of the
fuel, the light may come on only after starting the
engine.
•
What To Do
Under these conditions, you can continue driving.
Avoid heavy efforts to the engine or high speeds. The
prolonged use of the car with the light illuminated
can cause damage to the engine.
Please contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.

immediate service is required. You may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or en-
gine stall, and your vehicle may require towing.

the MAR/ACC/ON/RUN position. After the self-check,
the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off. If the ORC
detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns
on the Air Bag Warning Light, either momentarily or
continuously. A single chime will sound to alert you if the
light comes on again after initial startup.
The ORC also includes diagnostics that will illuminate
the instrument panel Air Bag Warning Light if a malfunc-
tion is detected that could affect the air bag system. The
diagnostics also record the nature of the malfunction.
While the air bag system is designed to be maintenance
free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized
dealer service the air bag system immediately.
•The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on during
the four to eight seconds when the ignition switch is
first turned to the MAR/ACC/ON/RUN position.
• The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the four to
eight-second interval. •
The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving.
NOTE: If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine
related gauges are not working, the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition
the air bags may not be ready to inflate for your protec-
tion. Have an authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your instru-
ment panel could mean you won’t have the air bags
to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come
on as a bulb check when the ignition is first placed in
the on position, and stays on after you start the
vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag system immedi-
ately.
238 SAFETY

WARNING!(Continued)
•If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the
engine running, adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into the vehicle. Set the
blower at high speed.
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust
system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust
system, when exhaust fumes can be detected inside the
vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is
damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for broken,
damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open
seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes
to seep into the passenger compartment. In addition,
inspect the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised
for lubrication or oil change. Replace as required.
Safety Checks You Should Make Inside The
Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for
cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the
system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a
collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged (i.e., bent retractor,
torn webbing, etc.). If there is any question regarding seat
belt or retractor condition, replace the seat belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on and remain on for
four to eight seconds as a bulb check when the
ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light is

HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning flasher switch is located on the
switch bank below the radio.Push the switch to turn on the Hazard Warning
Flasher. When the switch is activated, all direc-
tional turn signals will flash on and off to warn oncoming
traffic of an emergency. Push the switch a second time to
turn off the Hazard Warning flashers.
This is an emergency warning system and it should not
be used when the vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a safety hazard for
other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to seek assistance, the
Hazard Warning flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the STOP/OFF position.
NOTE: With extended use the Hazard Warning flashers
may wear down your battery.
BULB REPLACEMENT
General Information
• Before you replace a bulb check the contacts to be sure
they are not oxidized.
• Replace the bulbs with the same type and wattage.
• After replacing a light bulb always check the correct
orientation.
• Before replacing a bulb that is not functioning check
that the fuse is intact.
NOTE: Lens fogging can occur under certain atmo-
spheric conditions. This will usually clear as atmospheric
conditions change to allow the condensation to change
back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually
accelerate the clearing process.
