The outside ambient air temperature digital display
adapts to outside ambient air temperature in steps
depending on the following driving conditions; stop
and go traffic, constant speed driving, and the level of
temperature change. During idling or slow driving, the
temperature reading may be affected by road or
engine heat because the sensor is located in the
lower portion of the front fascia. The outside ambient
air temperature sensor is not a scientific weather tool
for calculating the exact outside temperature. The out-
side ambient air temperature sensor does not take
into account the relative humidity or the current wind
chill. Therefore, there may be a difference in temper-
ature readings and
temperatures.
WARNING INDICATORS
The Instrument Cluster is equipped with indicator lamps that warn of malfunctions or vehicle operating conditions
that need attention. The indicator lamps are grouped together in two windows, one to the left of the Fuel/Temper-
ature gauge and the other to the right of the Tachometer. All of the indicator lamps illuminate each time the engine
is started to verify system operation and to perform an Instrument Cluster bulb check. The following Instrument
Cluster indicators are present:
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, DRIVER AIRBAG, PASSENGER AIR-
BAG, SEAT BELT TENSIONER, FRONT IMPACT SENSORS, SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG, OR INSTRUMENT
PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE
(GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE
PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE SUP-
PLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN
ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Airbag Warning Indicator Lamp (SRS) The Air-
bag warning indicator lamp illuminates if there is a
malfunction in the Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS). During its bulb check, the Airbag warning
indicator lamp stays illuminated for approximately
six seconds, then goes out. If the Airbag warning
indicator lamp fails to perform a bulb check or
stays illuminated, there may be a malfunction in the
SRS and should be checked using the DRB III for
any DTCs that may be present.
