Warning switch, both turn signal
lights blink. All turn signals on the outside of the car should f lash.

cannot see that you are signalling. This light comes on as a reminder
that you must ref uel soon. This light comes on if either door or

The odometer shows the total dis-
tance your car has been driven. It
displays in miles and kilometers.
It is illegal under U.S. f ederal law and
Canadian provincial regulations to
disconnect, reset, or alter the
odometer with the intent to change
the number of miles or kilometers
indicated.
The Display Change button switches
the speedometer reading between
miles per hour and kilometers per
hour. It also changes the odometer
and trip meters to read in miles or
kilometers correspondingly. To
change the readings, push the
Display Change button until the
display changes.
This shows your speed in miles per
hour (mph) or kilometers per hour
(km/h). Odometer
