Light turns on solid:
Temporary malfunctions may cause the light to
illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel.
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.
3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed
and securely tightened.
These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by
filling the fuel tank with high quality fuel of the
recommended octane and/or properly installing and
securely tightening the fuel cap. After three driving
cycles without these or any other temporary
malfunctions present, the light should turn off. (A
driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup
followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No
additional vehicle service is required.
If the light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at
the first available opportunity.
Light is blinking:
Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration)
and have your vehicle serviced at the first available
opportunity.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive
exhaust temperatures could damage the
catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor
coverings or other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.

Check fuel cap
Illuminates when the
fuel cap is not installed
correctly. Check the
fuel cap for proper
installation. When the fuel filler cap is properly
re-installed, the light(s) will turn off after a period of
normal driving. Continuing to operate the vehicle
with the check fuel cap light on, can activate the
Service Engine Soon/Check Enginewarning light.
It may take a long period of time for the
system to detect an improperly installed fuel
filler cap.
For more information, refer toFuel filler capin the
Maintenance and specificationschapter.
Low fuel
Illuminates when the
fuel level in the fuel
tank is at, or near,
empty (refer toFuel
gaugein this chapter for more information).
O/D off (if equipped)
Illuminates when the
overdrive function has
been turned OFF using
the Transmission Control Switch (TCS) on the
gearshift. If the light does not come on or the light
flashes steadily, have your vehicle serviced as soon
as possible, damage to the transmission could occur.

WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER CONTROLS
Rotate the windshield
wiper control to the
desired interval, low or
high speed position.
The bars of varying
length are for
intermittent wipers. When in this position rotate the
control upward for fast intervals and downward for
slow intervals.
Push the control on
the end of the stalk to
activate washer. Push
and hold for a longer
wash cycle. The washer will automatically shut off
after ten seconds of continuous use.
Mist Function
To operate the Mist
function of the
windshield wipers,
push and release the
windshield washer control quickly. The wipers will
cycle one or two times.
Windshield wiper blades
Check the wiper blades at least twice a year or when
they seem less effective. Substances such as tree sap
and some hot wax treatments used by commercial
car washes reduce the effectiveness of wiper blades.
Checking the wiper blades
If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean both
the windshield and wiper blades using undiluted
windshield wiper solution or a mild detergent. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water. To avoid damaging the
blades, do not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner or
other solvents.
