INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS
1. Fuel Gauge/Fuel Door Reminder

When the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN

position, the pointer will show the level of fuel

remaining in the fuel tank. The fuel pump

symbol points to the side of the vehicle where

the fuel door is located.
2. Charging System Light

This light shows the status of the electrical charg-

ing system. The light should come on when the

ignition switch is first turned to ON/RUN and remain on

briefly as a bulb check. If the light stays on or comes on

while driving, turn off some of the vehicle’s non-essential

electrical devices or increase engine speed (if at idle). If

the charging system light remains on, it means that the

vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging

system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. See an autho-

rized dealer.

If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump Starting

Procedures” in “What To Do In Emergencies.”
3. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

This light informs you of a problem with the

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If a

problem is detected, the light will come on while

the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key

when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever

is placed in the PARK position. The light should turn off. If

the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle

will usually be drivable. However, see an authorized dealer

for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when

the engine is running, immediate service is required and you

may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough

idle or engine stall, and your vehicle may require towing.

The light will come on when the ignition is first turned to

ON/RUN and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light

does not come on during starting, have the system checked

by an authorized dealer.
