bulb HONDA PASSPORT 2000 2.G Owners Manual

If you keep driving with the
malfunction indicator lamp on,
you can damage your vehicle's emissions controls and engine.Those repairs may not be covered
by your vehicle's warranties.

Reduce d Powe r
Indicato r

This light comes on for a few seconds when you turn the key to

the "ON" position

If it comes on at any other time, it

indicates that there is a problem in
the throttle "drive-by-wire"
system. With the light on, your

vehicle goes into "limp home"

mode — the engine runs on three

cylinders, and the accelerator

pedal no longer controls engine
speed.
As soon as it is safe, pull off the
road and turn off the engine.
Restart the engine to reset the
system. If the light remains on, or
comes on again while driving, have the vehicle towed to your
Honda dealer for repair.

Turn Signa l

Indicator s

A green light flashing on the instrument panel lets you know
that the front and rear turn signal lights are working. If the light
stays on and does not flash, check
for a burned out bulb. If there is no light when the lever is moved,check the fuse and bulb.
Whenever the Hazard Warning
Flasher Switch is on, both turn signals will flash.
Lo
w Fue l Indicato r

This light comes on when the tank
becomes nearly empty. Fill up the tank as soon as possible.
If the low fuel indicator light
comes on when the fuel tank is
not nearly empty, have the fuel
tank sensing unit and related
components inspected and
repaired by your Honda dealer.
Driving on a road with many
sharp curves may cause the fuel
indicator light to blink
intermittently. This is normal.
Low Oi l

Pressur e Indicato r

This light is designed to come on
to provide a "bulb check" when
the key is turned to the "ON"
position, but should go out after

the engine is started. If the light
fails to come on with the key
turned to the "ON" position, it
could indicate a burned out bulb
or a blown fuse. Have the system
repaired if the light does not come on when checking.
Occasionally, this light may
flicker momentarily while the
engine is running, but this will not
harm the system. However, if the light remains on during normal
engine operation, the engine should be stopped until the cause
of the trouble can be located and
corrected. The source of the
trouble could be either of the
following: Low engine oil level

Loss of engine oil pressure
Running the engine with low oil
pressure can cause serious mechanical damage almostimmediately. Turn off the engine
as soon as you can safely get the
vehicle stopped.

as indicated by the "U/S" (upshift)
light on the instrument panel.
If vehicle speed drops below
20 mph (30 km/h), or if the
engine is not running smoothly,
you should downshift to the next lower gear. You may need to
downshift two or more gears to
keep the engine running smoothly or for satisfactory performance.
This indicator comes on for a fewseconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the "ON"
position. 4-Whee
l Driv e
(4WD ) Indicato r

4WD models only

This indicator lights when the 4-Wheel Drive system is engaged.
With the 4WD-2WD switch in the "OFF" or 2WD position, this light
will come on to provide a "bulb
check" when the key is turned to the "ON" position, but should go
out after the engine is started.
If the 4WD-2WD switch is in the "ON" or 4WD position, this light
will come on when the key is
turned to the "ON" position and
remain on after the engine is
started.
Anti-Loc
k Indicato r
This light will come on and go out when the ignition switch is turned
to the "ON" position. (If the light
does not come on, see your Honda
dealer to have the system

repaired.)

If the light remains on after
engine start-up or comes on
during operation of the vehicle, stop as soon as possible and turn
the key off. Then start the engine
to reset the system. If the light stays on, or it comes on again
while you're driving, the anti-lock
brake system should be checked at your Honda dealer.
Until you get it fixed, you'll have
normal brakes, but you won't
have anti-lock.

Tur
n Signa l Leve r

Push the lever fully up to signal a
right turn. Push it fully down to signal a left turn. Lights on the
front and rear of the vehicle will

flash.
The turn signal will cancel itself as
the turn is completed. In some
driving maneuvers, such as
changing lanes on an expressway, the steering wheel is not turned
back sufficiently after completing the turn to automatically cancel the
turn signal. In such maneuvers the
driver should manually return the
lever to the neutral or canceled
position when the turn is
completed.

Lane Change Signal In some turns, such as changing
lanes, the steering wheel is not
turned far enough to cancel the
turn signal. For convenience, you
can flash the turn signal by
moving the lever part way (to the
first stop) and holding it there.
The lever will return to the
horizontal position when you
release it. A green light on the instrument
panel flashes to indicate proper operation of the front and rear
turn signal lights. If the green
light remains on, but does not
flash, check for defective bulbs If the green light does not lightwhen the lever is moved, check
the fuse and indicator bulb.
