CAUTION!
Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the en-
gine running, as you would not be able to react to the
temperature indicator if the engine overheats.
NOTE:
• Engine idle speed will automatically increase to 1,000
RPM at elevated coolant temperatures to improve
engine cooling.
• If the gauge pointer moves to either extreme of the
gauge, the "Check Gages Warning Light" will illumi-
nate and a single chime will sound.
13. Vehicle Security Light
The light will flash rapidly for approximately
16 seconds when the Vehicle Security Alarm is
arming. The light will flash at a slower rate
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 27
after the alarm is set. The "Vehicle Security Light" will
also come on for about two seconds when the ignition is
first turned ON.
14. Shift Lever Indicator (Automatic Transmissions
Only)
When the shift lever is moved (on vehicles with the
68RFE transmission), this indicator will show the selected
gear range (P R N D). Vehicles equipped with Auto-6/
Electronic Range Select (ERS) will display the selection of
the desired top gear, in the position next to the D (Drive).
15. Odometer/Trip Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has
been driven. U.S. federal regulations require that upon
transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the
purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been
driven. Therefore, if the odometer reading is changed
during repair or replacement, be sure to keep a record of
the reading before and after the service so that the correct
mileage can be determined.
