Standard Cluster DigM Cluster

KO276
The oil pressure gage shows the engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per
square inch) when the engine is running. Canadian vehicles ind\
icate pressure in kPa (kilopascals).
Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the
low pressure zone
indicate the normal operating range.
A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a dangerously low oil
level or other problems causing low oil pressure.
On the digital cluster, a box around the oil pressure symbol will begin to flash
when the oil pressure is low.
I
Dsln't ke'ep drivinlg if the oil pressure is l'ow. If you do, your engine
can become
so hot that it catches fire. YQU or others could be
burned. Clheck your oil as soon as possiblle and have yo'u~r vehicle
serviced.

lndicator Lights
lndicator lights go on when you use your turn signals, change from low beam
headlights to high beams, or when you use your hazard flashers. The next
few pages will also tell you about the indicator lights on your vehicle and
help you locate them.
Charging System Light
KO280
t
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. Then
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 electrical c\
harging system. It could indicate that you have a loose generator drive belt, or anothe\
r
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.
It is on the lower
right hand side
of your standard instrument cluster.

Gages
Fuel Gage
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
KO272
The fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left, when the ignition
is on. When the gage first indicates empty, you still have a lit\
tle fuel left, but
you should get more fuel soon.
A box around the gage symbol on the digital cluster will begin to flash when
your tank
is 1/8 full or less.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a
problem with your fuel gage:
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For
example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, \
but
it
actually took a little more or less than half the tank‘s capacity to fill the
tank.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up. \
The gage doesn’t go back to empty when you turn off the ignition.
For your fuel tank capacity, see the Index under “Fluid Cap\
acities.”

Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
I
KO278
When your engine
is not running, but the ignition is on (in the Run position),
the gage shows your battery's state of charge in
DC volts. When the engine
is running, the gage shows the condition of the charging system. Readings
between the low and high warning zones indicate the normal operating range.
On the digital cluster, a box around the voltmeter symbol will\
begin to flash
when the charging system needs service.
You can only drive for a short time with the reading in either warning zone. If
you must drive, turn
off all unnecessary accessories.
Readings in either warning zone indicate a possible problem in the electrical
system. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
mailer Wiring Harness
Your vehicle may have either a 5-wire or 7-wire harness.
The 5-wire harness is stored along the left rear frame crossme\
mber. The harness has no connector, and you should have a qualified serv\
ice person
wire your harness for you.
It must be routed out of your vehicle and attached
so that the trailer or the body won't pull it.

The 7-wire harness is stored under your vehicle along the rear frame
crossmember. This harness has a
30 Amp. in-line fused battery feed wire and
no connector, and should be wired by a qualified service perso\
n. Attach the
harness to the trailer, then tape or strap it
to your vehicle's frame rail. Be
sure you leave it loose enough
so the wiring doesn't bend or break, but not
so loose that it drags on the ground.
Store the harness in
its original place. Wrap the harness together and tie it
neatly
so it won't be damaged.
