168 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call a service center if your
vehicle overheats. If you decide to look under the
hood yourself, see Section 7 of this manual. Follow
the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap
paragraph.
8. Speedometer
The Speedometer shows the vehicle's speed.
9. Voltage Light
The Voltage light monitors the electrical system
voltage. The light should turn on momentarily as
the engine is started. If the light stays on or turns on
while driving, it indicates a problem with the charging
system. Immediate service should be obtained.
10. Security Light
The Security Light will flash rapidly for approximately 15
seconds when the vehicle theft alarm is arming. The light
will flash at a slower speed continuously after the alarm
is set. The Security Light will also come on for about three
seconds when the ignition is first turned ON.
11. ABS Warning Light
This ABS Warning light monitors the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS), which is described else-
where in this manual. This light will come on
when the ignition key is turned to the ON
position and may stay on for approximately three sec-
onds. If this light remains on or comes on during driving,
it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system
is not functioning and that service is required. See your
authorized dealer immediately.
