(I) or LOCK (0).
This light normally comes on f or a
f ew seconds when you turn the

This indicator lights when you turn
the ignition switch to ON (II) with
the headlight switch of f and the
parking brake set. It should go of f if
youturnontheheadlightsorrelease
the parking brake. If it comes on at
any other time, it means there is a
problem with the DRL. There may
also be a problem with the high
beam headlights.
The lef t or right turn signal light
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If the light does not blink or
blinks rapidly, it usually means one
of the turn signal bulbs is burned out
(see page ). Replace the bulb as
soon as possible, since other drivers
cannot see that you are signalling.
A burned out brake light is a hazard
when drivers behind you cannot tell
you are braking. Have your brake
lights repaired right away. The appropriate light comes on in
this display if the trunk or either
door is not closed tightly. If a brake
light does not work, the indicator comes on when you
push the brake pedal with the
ignition switch ON (II).
All the lights in the monitor display
come on when you turn the ignition
switch ON (II). The lights go of f
af ter the engine starts and the trunk
and both doors are closed tightly. WhenyouturnontheHazard
Warning switch, both turn signal
lights blink. All turn signals on the
outside of the car should f lash.
