Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment lter. The lter removes most
particles from the air, including dust particles.
Reductions in airow, which may occur more
quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the lter
needs to be replaced early. For how often to
change the air lter, seeScheduled Maintenance
on page 509.The access panel for the passenger compartment
air lter is located in the back of the glove box.
To replace the lter, do the following:
1. Pull the tab located on the outer access
panel up and out.

2. Then push the tab, located on the left of the
inner access panel, to the right.
3. The rst air lter will pull straight out. To
remove the second, reach in and slide it
toward the opening. Pull the second lter out.4. Replace the lters by reversing Step 3. Make
sure the lters are inserted so that the sealing
foam is angled in the same direction on
both lters. For the type of lter to use, see
Normal Maintenance Replacement Parts
on page 520.
5. Close the inner access door, while squeezing
the tab. Be sure it is tightly closed.
6. Snap the outer access panel into the back of
the glove box.

Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages
that may be on your vehicle. The pictures will
help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes serious
enough to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to your warning
lights and gages could also save you or others
from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or
is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few
pages, some warning lights come on briey when
you start the engine just to let you know they’re
working. If you are familiar with this section,
you should not be alarmed when this happens.Gages can indicate when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Often gages and warning lights work together
to let you know when there’s a problem with your
vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and
stays on when you are driving, or when one of
the gages shows there may be a problem, check
the section that tells you what to do about it.
Please follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly — and even dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.

Instrument Panel Cluster
Your instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You will
know how fast you are going, how much fuel you are using, and many other things you will need to drive
safely and economically. The indicator warning lights and gages are explained on the following pages.
United States version shown, Canada similar

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed
in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h). Your odometer shows how far
your vehicle has been driven, in either miles
(used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle
needs a new odometer installed. The new one can
be set to the mileage total of the old odometer.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can display how far you have
driven since you last reset it.
For more information seeDIC Operation and
Displays on page 224.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START,
a chime will come on for several seconds to
remind people to fasten their safety belts.
The safety belt light
will also come on
and stay on for several
seconds, then it will
ash for several more.
If the driver remains unbuckled when the ignition
is on and the vehicle is in motion, the chime
and safety belt light will be repeated. You should
buckle your seat belt. If the driver’s belt is
already buckled, neither the chime nor the light
will come on.
209

Passenger Safety Belt Reminder
Light
Several seconds after the key is turned to RUN or
START, a chime will come on for several seconds
to remind the front passenger to buckle their
safety belt. This would only occur if a passenger is
detected by the passenger sensing system. See
Passenger Sensing System on page 86for more
information. The passenger safety belt light will also
come on and stay on for several seconds, then it
will ash for several more.
You should have the
passenger buckle their
safety belt.
This light and chime reminder will be repeated if
the ignition is on, the vehicle is in motion, the
passenger is still unbuckled and the passenger
airbag is enabled.
If the passenger’s safety belt is buckled, neither
the chime nor the light will come on.
Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness light on the
instrument panel, which shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag’s electrical
system for malfunctions. The light comes on if
there is an electrical problem. The system check
includes the airbag sensor, the airbag modules,
the wiring and the diagnostic module. For
more information on the airbag system, see
Airbag System on page 76.
This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, and it will ash
for a few seconds.
Then the light should go
out. This means the
system is ready.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you
start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving,
your airbag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.
