20. High Beam Indicator

This indicator shows that headlights are on high
beam. Push the multifunction lever forward to

switch the headlights to high beam, and pull toward
yourself (normal position) to return to low beam.

21. Voltmeter
When the engine is running, the gauge indicates the
electrical system voltage. The pointer should stay within
the normal range if the battery is charged. If the pointer
moves to either extreme left or right and remains there
during normal driving, the electrical system should be
serviced.

NOTE:

The voltmeter may show a gauge fluctuation at

various engine temperatures. This cycling operation is

caused by the post-heat cycle of the intake manifold
heater system. The number of cycles and the length of the
cycling operation is controlled by the engine control
module. Post-heat operation can run for several minutes,
and then the electrical system and voltmeter needle will
stabilize.

22. Cargo Light

The cargo light will illuminate when the cargo
light is activated by pressing the cargo light
button on the headlight switch.

23. Brake Warning Light

This light monitors various brake functions,
including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the brake light turns on, it may
indicate that the parking brake is applied, that

the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with
the Anti-lock Brake System reservoir.
