8. Tachometer
The red segments indicate the maximum permissible
engine revolutions-per-minute (r.p.m. x 1000) for each
gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up on the
accelerator.

9. Security Alarm System Indicator Light — If
Equipped
This 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.

10. Oil Pressure Warning Light

This light shows low engine oil pressure. The light
should turn on momentarily when the engine is

started. If the light turns on while driving, stop the
vehicle, and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A
continuous chime will sound when this light turns on.

Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected.
This light does not show how much oil is in the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked under the hood.

11. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator
Light/Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator
Light — If Equipped

If this indicator light flashes during accelera-
tion, apply as little throttle as possible. While
driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your
speed and driving to the prevailing road con-

ditions, and do not switch off the ESP, or TCS — if
equipped. The indicator light will flash when the ESP or
TCS System is active and helping to improve vehicle
stability. If the indicator light is on solid, ESP or TCS may
not be able to function normally.
