When an air bag inflates, there is dust in the air.
This dust could cause breathing problems
for
people with a history of asthma or other
breathing trouble.
To avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as soon
as it is safe to do so.
If you have breathing problems but can’t get out
of the vehicle after an air bag inflates, then get
fresh
air by opening a window or a door.
In many crashes severe enough to inflate an air bag,
windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the
right front passenger air bag.
Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After an
air bag inflates, you’ll need some new parts for your
air bag system.
If you don’t get them, the air bag
system won’t be there to help protect you in another
crash.
A new system will include air bag modules
and possibly other parts. The service manual for your
vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.

e
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and
diagnostic module, which records information about
the frontal air bag system. The module records
information about the readiness
of the system, when
the sensors are activated and driver’s safety belt
usage at deployment.
Let only qualified technicians work on your air
bag systems. Improper service can mean that an
air bag system won’t work properly. See your dealer
for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the covering for the driver’s or the
right front passenger’s air bag, or the air bag
covering on the driver’s and right front
passenger’s seatback, the bag may not work
properly. You may have to replace the air bag
module in the steering wheel, both the air bag
module and the instrument panel for the right
front passenger’s
air bag, or both the air bag
module and seatback for the driver’s and right
front passenger’s side impact air bag.
Do not
open or break the air bag coverings.

The light sensor for the twilight sentinel is located in the
center of the front defogger grille. If
you cover the
sensor, it will read “dark” and the parking lamps and
low-beam headlamps will come on.
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
This control dial is located to the right of the fog lamp
button.
As you rotate the control dial up, the instrument
panel lights will brighten.
Illuminated Entry
This system turns on the courtesy lamps (dome lamps
and door entry lamps) for about
20 seconds when any of
the following occur:
0 if you manually unlock your vehicle with the key,
if any door is opened or closed or
if you press the unlock button on the
RKE transmitter.
Illuminated entry immediately ends when your vehicle’s
ignition is turned to the RUN or START position.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows the air bag symbol. The system
checks the air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The
system check includes the air bag sensors, the air bag
modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For
more information on the air bag system, see “Air Bag”
in the Index.
This light will come on for
a few seconds when you
i start your engine. Then the
light should go out. This
means the system is ready. The
air bag readiness light should come on for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition key to
RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be
ready
to warn you if there is a problem.
Charging System Indicator Light
When you turn the key to
START, this light will
come on briefly to show
that the generator and
battery charging systems
are working.
If this light stays on, you need service and you should
take your Catera to the dealer at once.
To save the
battery until you get there, turn
off all accessories.
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start the
engine
or comes on when you are driving, your air bag
system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.

This warning light should
come on while you are
starting
the engine. If the
light doesn’t come on, have
4
it repaired.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Check Engine Light)
Your Catera is equipped
with a computer which
monitors operation of the
fuel, ignition and emission
CHECK
ENGINE
control systems.
Your Catera is equipped with a low coolant level sensor
(switch and float) that is designed
to detect when your
vehicle’s coolant level drops below the set limit. If the
low coolant level sensor (under the coolant surge tank)
detects that the level drops while the engine is running,
the low coolant indicator will light and remain lit until
the ignition switch is turned off. Check the coolant level and add coolant as needed. The light should turn
off as
soon as the coolant level
is at its proper operating range. This
system is called OBD
I1 (On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended
to assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for
the life of the vehicle, helping
to produce a cleaner
environment. (In Canada,
OBD I1 is replaced by
Enhanced Diagnostics.) The CHECK
ENGINE light
comes on to indicate that there is a problem and service
is required. Malfunctions often will be indicated by the
system before any problem is apparent. This may
prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This
system
is also designed to assist your service technician
in correctly diagnosing any malfunction.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Outside Temperature Display
The outside temperature is always displayed when your
vehicle's ignition is on. If the outside temperature
display begins to flash, this means that icy road
conditions are possible. Adjust your driving if needed.
The display will flash for about
30 seconds and then
remain
on steady.
Mode Button
Press this button to deliver air through the floor, middle,
side or windshield outlets. The climate control system
will stay in the selected ECC mode until the MODE
button is pressed again or until the TEMP/AUTO knob
is pressed. Press the up or down arrow to see the
available modes.
EnglisWetric Display
You can change the temperature display from English
(degrees Fahrenheit) to metric (degrees Celsius) by
pressing and holding the driver's side TEMP/AUTO
knob for approximately three seconds. Repeat the
process to change back to English from metric.
Automatic Operation
Pressing the driver's side TEMP/AUTO knob sets the
system for automatic operation. Once the system
is set,
sensors will control the air delivery mode. Air will come
from the floor, middle, side
or windshield outlets. The
fan speed will vary as the system maintains the selected
temperature setting. (All previous manually set mode
settings will change back to a fully automatic mode
when the climate control system is turned on this way.)
Be careful not to put anything over the solar sensor
located in
the middle of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor
is used by the automatic system
to regulate temperature.
To find your comfort zone, start with the
75 OF (24" C j
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Adjust the temperature if necessary. If you
choose
60°F (1 6"C), the system will remain at that
maximum cooling setting and will not regulate
fan
speed. If you choose the temperature of 90°F (32°C)'
the system will remain at that maximum heating setting
and will not regulate fan speed. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause the system to heat or
cool any faster.

NOTICE:
0
0 Using the wrong fluid can badly damage
brake system parts. For example, just
a few
drops
of mineral-based oil, such as engine
oil, in your brake system can damage brake
system parts
so badly that they’ll have to be
replaced. Don’t let someone put
in the
wrong kind of
fluid.
If you spill brake fluid on your vehicle’s
painted surfaces, the paint finish can be
damaged. Be careful not to spill brake
fluid
on your vehicle. If you do, wash it
off immediately. See “Appearance Care” in
the Index.
Your Catera has four-wheel disc brakes.
Your Catera has electronic wear sensors that let you
know when the front brake pads are significantly worn
and new pads are needed. The brake pad wear indicator
light will come
on and stay on when the brake pads are
worn and need
to be replaced. (See “Brake Pad Wear
Indicator Light”
in the Index.)
The brake pad wear indicator light means that
soon your brakes won’t work
well. That could
lead to
an accident. When the brake pad wear
indicator light comes on and stays on, have your
vehicle serviced.
I NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
