Electric Power Steering
(EPS) Indicator
U.S. Si model only
This indicator normally comes on
when you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position and goes off
after the engine starts. If it comes on
at any other time, there is a problem
in the electric power steering system.
If this happens, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and turn off the engine.
Reset the system by restarting the
engine. The indicator will not turn
off immediately. If it does not go off
after driving a short distance, or
comes back on again while driving,
take the vehicle to your dealer to
have it checked. With the indicator
on, the EPS may be off, making the
vehicle harder to steer.
If you turn the steering wheel to the
full left or right position repeatedly
while stopping or driving at very low
speed, you may feel slightly harder
steering due to overheating of the
steering gear box.

Rev Limit Indicator
REV LIMIT INDICATOR
U.S. Si model only
This indicator shows you when the
engine speed is near the tachometer's
red zone. When the engine speed
gets to near the red zone, the
indicator blinks. If you exceed the
maximum speed for the gear you are
in, the indicator stays on, and you
may feel the engine cut in and out
due to the engine speed limiter (see
page 196 ).
To protect the engine from damage,
never drive with the tachometer in
its red zone.
