INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTIONS
1. Tachometer
The red segments indicate the maximum permis-
sible engine revolutions per minute (RPM x 1000)
for each gear range. Ease up on the accelerator
before reaching the red area.
2. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is
part of an onboard diagnostic system
called OBD. The OBD system monitors
engine and automatic transmission con-
trol systems. The MIL will turn on when the ignition
is in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the
MIL does not come on when turning the key from
OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked
promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas
cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL
after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if
the MIL stays on through several of your typical
driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and will not require towing.

CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL) on could cause damage to
the engine control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and driveability. If the MIL is
flashing, severe catalytic converter damage
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as ref-
erenced above, can reach higher tempera-
tures than in normal operating conditions.
This can cause a fire if you drive slowly or
park over flammable substances such as dry
plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could re-
sult in death or serious injury to the driver,
occupants or others.
3. Vehicle Security Light — If Equipped
This light will flash at a fast rate for
approximately 15 seconds, when
the vehicle security alarm is arm-
ing, and then will flash slowly until
the vehicle is disarmed.
4. Turn Signal Indicators
The arrow will flash with the exte-
rior turn signal when the turn signal
lever is operated.
NOTE:
• A continuous chime will sound if the ve-
hicle is driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km)
with either turn signal on.
• Check for an inoperative outside light
bulb if either indicator flashes at a rapid
rate.
5. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light

System (ABS). The light will turn on
