6. Turn Signal Indicators

To signal minor directional changes, such as
changing lanes, move the multifunction con-
trol lever to the point of resistance only and
hold it there. The arrows will flash in unison

with the corresponding exterior turn signal.

To operate the turn signals continuously, move the mul-
tifunction control lever past the point of resistance up or
down. The switch is automatically canceled when the
steering wheel is turned to a large enough degree.

The arrows in the instrument cluster will flash in unison
with the respective exterior turn signal.

7. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light

The yellow ESP indicator light in the speedom-
eter dial comes on with the key in the ignition
switch turned to the ON/RUN position. It

should go out with the engine running.

If the ESP indicator light flashes during acceleration,
apply as little throttle as possible. While driving, ease up
on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the
prevailing road conditions, and do not switch off the ESP.

8. Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle speed in miles-per-
hour and kilometers-per-hour.

9. Tachometer
This gauge shows engine speed in revolutions-per-
minute (RPM) times 1,000.

The red markings on the tachometer indicate excessive
engine speed. Ease off on the accelerator before reaching
the red area.

10. Brake System Warning Light

The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capability if a failure occurs in a

portion of the hydraulic system.

This light monitors both the brake fluid level and the
parking brake. If the light comes on, it indicates either
that the parking brake is on or there is a low fluid level in
the brake master cylinder. Since this vehicle is equipped
with anti-lock brakes (ABS), the brake light may also
indicate reduced braking performance due to the loss of
electronic brake proportioning. If the parking brake is off
and the light remains on, have the brake system in-
spected as soon as possible.
