Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 odometer is tamper resistant. It will show silver lines
between the numbers
if someone tries to turn it back.
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.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To set the trip odometer to zero, press the button near
the readout
.
Tachometer (If Equipped)
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm). Each
tachometer has
a different limit depending on the
powertrain
in your vehicle. The tachometer has three
areas: normal operating range, red warning range and
red danger range.
The normal operating range shows your engine speed
during normal driving conditions.
For example, when
the needle points to
2, it means the engine is running at
2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer
needle
will vary all the time that the engine is running.
The shaded red warning range teIls you
that your engine
speed is reaching
its upper limits. Don’t drive very long
with the tachometer in the red warning range. If you
have
a manual transmission, shift to a higher gear as
soon as possible. If you have an automatic transmission,
lift your foot off of the accelerator pedal.
The solid red danger range tells
you that your engine speed
is at its upper limits. Your should immediately shift to a
higher gear, or lift your foot off of the accelerator pedal.
I NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red range,
or engine damage will occur.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 briefly when
you start the
engine just
to let you know they're workinz. 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.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START. a tone will
come on for about eight seconds
to remind people to
fasten their safety belts, unless the driver's safety belt is
already buckled.
The safety belt
light will
also come on and stay on
for about
20 seconds.
then
it will flash for about
55 seconds. If the driver's
belt is already buckled,
neither the tone nor the
light
will come on.

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
AIR BAG. 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 module,
the wiring and
the diagnostic module. For more
information
on the air bag system, see ‘*Air Bag” in
the Index.
AIR
BAG
This light will come on
when you start your engine,
and
it will flash for a few
seconds.
Then the light
should
go out. This means
the system
is ready.
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. The
air bag
readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when
you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the
light doesn’t corne
on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready
to warn you if there is a problem.
Charging System Indicator Light
II..
~ The charging system light
~ will come on briefly when
you turn on the ignition,
but the engine is not
running,
as a check to
show you it is working.
It should go out once the engine is running. If it stays
on, or comes on while you are driving, you may have
a problem with the charging system. It could indicate
that
you have problems with a generator drive belt, or
another electrical problem. Have
it checked right away.
Driving while
this light is on could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.
