The instrument illumination (for dials and
needles) turns on when the ignition is on
and the vehicle lights are turned off. As
the daylight fades, the illumination of the
dials likewise dims automatically and wil l
go out completely when the outside light
is very low. This feature is meant to rem ind
you to switch on the headlights when outÂ
side light conditions become poor.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge CD¢ page 11, fig. 3
only works when the ignition is on. To prevent
damage to your eng ine, please note the folÂ
l owing important points:
Engine cold
If only the LEDs at the bottom of the gauge
turn on, the eng ine has not reached operating
temperature yet . Avoid high engine speeds,
heavy engine loads and heavy throttle applicaÂ
tions.
Normal temperature
The engine has reached its operating temperÂ
ature once the LEDs up to the center of the
gauge turn on under normal driving cond iÂ
t ions. The LEDs higher up may turn on when
the engine is under heavy load or the exterior
temperature is high. This is no need to worry
as long as the. warning light in the instruÂ
ment cluster does not illuminate. If the LEDs
in the upper area of the disp lay and the indicaÂ
tor light . in the instrument cluster display
turn on, the coolant temperature is too high
¢page 17.
A WARNING
-Always observe the warn ing in
¢ page 224, before opening the hood
and checking the engine coolant level.

On-Board Diagnostic
system (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) II! in
the instrument cluster is part of the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when
the ignition is switched on and goes o ut after
the engine starts and the idle has stabilized.
This indicates that the MIL is working properÂ
ly .
If the light does not go out after the engine
is started, or illuminates while you are drivÂ
ing, a ma lfunction may exist in the engine sysÂ
tem. If the light illuminates, the catalytic conÂ
verter could be damaged.
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoidÂ
ing sustained high speeds and/or rapid accelÂ
erations) and have the condition corrected.

Side curtain airbags
Description of side curtain airbags
The side curtain airbag system can provide
supplemental protection to properly restrain Â
ed occupants.
Fi g. 1 65 Side curtain a irbags, d river 's side: s ide curta in
a ir bag location
The s ide curtain airbags are located o n both
sides of the interior above the front and rea r
side windows
c:.> fig. 165 . They are ident ified
by the word "AIRBAG" on the windshield
frame and the center roof p illar.
The s ide curtain airbag system supp lements
the safety belts and can help to reduce the risk of injury for occupants' heads and upper
torso o n the side of the vehicle tha t is struc k in a side collision
. The side curtain airbag inÂ
flates in side impacts and only when the vehi cle acceleration registered by the control un it
is h igh enough . If this rate is below the referÂ
ence value programmed into the control unit,
the side airbags will not be triggered, even
t h ough the car may be bad ly damaged as a reÂ
su lt of the co llision .
It is not possib le to deÂ
fine an airbag triggering range that will cover every possib le ang le of impact, s ince the cirÂ
cumstances will vary cons iderably between
one collision and another. Important factors
include, for example, the nature (hard or soft)
of the impacting object, the angle of impact,
vehicle speed, etc .
c:,, page 171, How side curÂ
tain airbags work .
Aside from their normal safety function, safeÂ
ty belts work to help keep the driver or front
passenger in position in the event of a colliÂ
sion so that the side curtain airbags can proÂ
vide protection .
The airbag system is not a substit ute for your
safety belt . Rather, it is part of the overall ocÂ
cupant restraint system in your vehicle. AlÂ
ways remember that the a irbag system can
only help to protect you if you are wear ing
you r saf ety belt and wearing it properly . This
is anothe r reason why yo u should always wear
yo ur safe ty belts, no t just because the law re Â
quires yo u to do soc:.>
page 138, General
notes .
It is important to remember that w hile the
s ide cur tain airbag system is designed to help
reduce the likelihood of ser ious injur ies, other
injuries, for example, swelling, bruising, fricÂ
tion burns and minor abrasions can also be asÂ
sociated w ith these airbags upon dep loyment.
Remember too, these airbags will deploy only
once and only in certain kinds of accidents -
your safety belts are always there to offer pro Â
tection.
