the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the
ABS system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can
be checked by turning the ignition switch
from the OFF position to the ON/RUN
position. The light should illuminate for
approximately two seconds. The light
should then turn off unless the parking
brake is applied or a brake fault is de-
tected. If the light does not illuminate,
have the light inspected by an authorized
dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the ON/RUN position.
NOTE: This light shows only that the
parking brake is applied. It does not show
the degree of brake application.

19. Seat Belt Reminder Light
art=040400377.tif NO TRANS
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 or front passenger'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 "Occu-
pant Restraints" in "Things To Know Be-
fore Starting Your Vehicle" for further infor-
mation.
20. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading within
the normal range indicates that the engine
cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a
higher temperature when driving in hot
weather, up mountain grades, or when
towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to
exceed the upper limits of the normal
operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling
system could damage your vehicle. If
the temperature gauge reads "H" pull
over and stop the vehicle. Idle the
vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the "H" and you
hear continuous chimes, turn the en-
gine off immediately, and call an au-
thorized dealership for service.
