Indicator Lights

Traction Control System(TCS) Indicator

On all V6 models

This indicator has three functions:
1. It comes on as a reminder that you have turned off the Traction
Control System.
2. It flashes when the TCS is regulating wheelspin.
3. If it comes on and stays on when the Traction Control System is on,it indicates that there is a problem
in the TCS.
This light also comes on when you turn the ignition ON (II) and goes offafter the engine starts. See page
206 for more information on the

TCS.
Door and Brake Lamp Monitor
The appropriate light comes on in this display if the trunk or any dooris not closed tightly. If a brake light does not work, the BRAKE LAMP
indicator comes on when you push
the brake pedal with the ignition switch ON (II).
A burned out brake light is a hazard when drivers behind you cannot tell
you are braking. Have your brakelights repaired right away.
All the lights in the monitor display
come on for a few seconds when you
turn the ignition switch ON (II). Turn Signal and
Hazard WarningIndicators
The left or right turn signal light blinks when you signal a lane changeor turn. If the light does not blink or
blinks rapidly, it usually means oneof the turn signal bulbs is burned out (see page 277 ). Replace the bulb as
soon as possible, since other drivers
cannot see that you are signalling.
When you turn on the Hazard
Warning switch, both turn signal lights blink. All turn signals on the
outside of the car should flash.

Gauges

Trip Meter

This meter shows the number of miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)driven since you last reset it.
There are two trip meters: Trip A and Trip B. Switch between these
displays by pressing the Select/
Reset button repeatedly. Each trip
meter works independently, so you
can keep track of two different

distances.

To reset a trip meter, display it and then press and hold the Select/Reset
button until the number resets to "0.0". Both trip meters will reset if
the vehicle's battery goes dead or isdisconnected. Temperature Gauge
This shows the temperature of the engine's coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise
from the bottom white mark to about
the middle of the gauge. In severe driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill driving, the pointer may rise to near
the upper grey zone. If it reaches the
red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the side of the road. Turn to page 239 for
instructions and precautions on
checking the engine's cooling
system.
Fuel Gauge
This shows how much fuel you have. It is most accurate when the car is on
level ground. It may show slightly
more or less than the actual amount
when you are driving on curvy or hilly roads.
4-cylinder models
The gauge stays at the same fuel level reading after you turn off the
ignition. When you add fuel, the
gauge slowly changes to the new reading after you turn the ignitionswitch back ON (II).

6-cylinder models

The needle returns to the bottom after you turn off the ignition. The
gauge shows the fuel level reading immediately after you turn the
ignition switch back ON (II).

Instruments and Controls

Digital Clock

The digital clock displays the time with the ignition switch in any

position.

To set the clock:

2. Press and hold the M button until the numbers advance to the
desired time. You can use R to quickly set the time

time is before the half hour, pressingR sets the clock back to the previous
hour. If the displayed time is after
the half hour, pressing R sets the clock forward to the beginning of the
next hour. For example: 1:06 would RESET to 1:00.
1:52 would RESET to 2:00.

Climate Control System

Fully-automatic Operation
To put the Automatic Climate Control in fully-automatic mode,
press the AUTO button and set the
fan control dial to AUTO, then set
the desired temperature by turning
the temperature control dial. You will see FULL AUTO in the system's
display. The light above the button also shows you which
mode, Recirculation or Fresh Air, is
selected.

The system automatically selects the proper mix of conditioned and/or
heated air that will, as quickly aspossible, raise or lower the interior
temperature from its current level to
the set temperature.
When you set the temperature to its lower limit (60°F/18°C) or its upper
limit (90°F/32°C), the system runs at full cooling or heating only. It does
not regulate the interior temperature.

the heater starts to develop warm air. Pressing the OFF button shuts the
climate control system completely
off. Keep the system completely off
only for short periods. To keep stale
air and mustiness from collecting,
you should have the fan running at all times.
