instrument Cluster
Your instrument cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your
vehicle is running. You'll know how fast you're going, about how much fuel
you've used, and many other things you'll need to know to drive safely and
economically.
Digital Cluster
If you have the digital cluster it looks different but will tell you everything the
standard cluster does. The digital cluster
also includes a tachometer and will
give readings
in either English or Metric. To switch from English to Metric,
just press down
on the EIM lever.
Speedometer and Odometer
I
KO265
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 U.S.) or kilometers (used in
Canada).

Your odometer is tamper-resistant. The standard odometer will show si\
lver
lines between the numbers

You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a new odometer
installed. If the new one can be set to the mileage total
of the old odometer,
then it must be. But
if it can’t, then it’s set at zero, and a label must be put
on the driver’s door to show the
old mileage reading when the new odometer
was installed.

Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This section describes the warning lights and gages that are o\
n your vehicle.
The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can s.ignal that something is wrong before it
becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacem\
ent. Paying
attention to your warning lights and gages could
also save you or others from
injury.
Warning lights
go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s funcfions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition\
key just to let
you know they’re working.
If you are fam’iliar with this section, you should not
be alarmed when this happens.

Features & Controls
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work toge\
ther
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 probl\
em, check the
section that tells you what to do about
it. Please follow the 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.
Brake System Warning Light
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
Pol 59
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part
isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. \
For good braking,
though, you need both parts working well. Your vehicle also ha\
s rear wheel anti-lock brakes. If the warning light goes on, there could be a brake problem
with either your regular or rear wheel anti-lock brakes, or both. Have you\
r
brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on as you start the vehicle. If it do\
esn’t come on
then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
This light will also come on when you set your parking brake, and will stay
on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays on after your parking
brake is fully released,
it means you may have a brake problem. If the light
comes on while driving, pull
off the road and stop carefully. You may notice
that the pedal is harder
to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor. It
may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for
service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
