8. Turn Signal Indicators
The arrows will flash in unison with the
exterior turn signal, when using the
turn signal lever.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle
is driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either
turn signal on, a continuous chime will sound to
alert you to turn the signals off. If either indicator
flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective
outside light bulb.
9. High Beam Indicator
This indicator shows that the high
beam headlights are on. Push the turn
signal lever away from the steering
wheel to switch the headlights from high or low
beam.
10. Anti-Lock Brake Light (ABS) — If
Equipped
This light monitors the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS). The light will
turn on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON/RUN position and
may stay on for as long as four
seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while
driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of
the brake system is not functioning and that
service is required. However, the conventional
brake system will continue to operate normally if
the BRAKE warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should
be serviced as soon as possible to restore the
benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light
does not turn on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON/RUN position, have the light
inspected by an authorized dealer.
11. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned
to ON/RUN, this light will turn on for
four to eight seconds as a bulb check.
During the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt is
unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb
check or when driving, if the driver's seat belt
remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light will illuminate and the chime will sound.
Refer to "Occupant Restraints" in "Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle" for further
information.
12. Tachometer
This scale shows the permissible engine
revolutions-per-minute (RPM x 1000) for each
gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease
up on the accelerator to prevent engine
damage.
13. Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated en-
gine condition. As engine coolant tem-
peratures rise and the gauge ap-
proaches H, this indicator will illuminate and a
single chime will sound after reaching a set
threshold. Further overheating will cause the
temperature gauge to pass H, a continuous
chime will occur until the engine is allowed to
cool.
