INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION

1. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.

2. Brake Warning Light

The BRAKE warning light will come on when
the ignition is first turned on, and stay on
briefly as a bulb check. If the bulb does not
come on during starting, have the bulb re-

paired promptly. If the light stays on longer, it may be an
indication that the parking brake has not been released.

If the light remains on when the parking brake is off, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction
or low fluid level. In this case, the light will remain on
until the cause is corrected. If a brake malfunction is
indicated, immediate repair is necessary and continued
operation of the vehicle in this condition is dangerous.

3. Turn Signal Indicator Light

The arrow will flash with the exterior turn signal
when the turn signal lever is operated.

If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle has
traveled about one mile with the turn signals on, a 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.

4. High Beam Indicator Light

Indicates that headlights are on high beam.

5. Malfunction Indicator Light

This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system
called OBD II that monitors engine and auto-
matic transmission control systems. The light will

illuminate when the key is in the ON position before
