TACHOMETER (option) FUEL GAUGE TEMPERATURE GAUGE

The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute(rpm). To maximize
fuel efficiency, drive in the lower rpm range
between 2,000 and 3,000 rpm.
Never operate the engine at such high rpm
that the tachometer needle is in the red
zone.
WARNING
Excessive engine speed can damage
the engine.
• Do not let the engine reach exces-
sive engine speed, as indicated by the
pointer being in the red zone.
This could result in costly repairs.
Indicates how much fuel remains in the
fuel tank.
After adding fuel and restarting the engine,
the fuel gauge pointer slowly moves to
show the new fuel level.
Movement of the fuel within the fuel tank
causes the fuel gauge pointer to move
when you brake, accelerate or turn.
• Fuel tank capacity: 45 liters
Indicates engine coolant temperature
when the ignition switch is ON.
CAUTION
• Do not continue to drive your vehicle
if the temperature gauge pointer is
in the red area of the gauge. This
means your vehicle’s engine is over-
heating.
Driving with an overheated engine can
damage your vehicle. See “OVER
HEATING” in the index.

ABS WARNING LAMP (option)
The ABS warning lamp comes on briefly
as you turn the ignition ON. This means
that the system performs self-checking and
the indicator bulb is operating properly.
The lamp should go out after about 3 sec-
onds.
Contact your nearest dealer for repairs if
the ABS warning lamp does either of the
following:
• Does not come on when the ignition is
turned ON.
• Does not go out.
• Comes on while driving
S3W2101A
WARNING
• Do not drive with the ABS warning
lamp on.
• The ABS warning lamp may mean
your brakes are not working prop-
erly.
Failure to keep your vehicle’s brakes
in proper working condition can cause
a collision resulting in personal inju-
ries and damage to your vehicle or
other property.
If the ABS warning lamp comes on while
driving, your vehicle may have an ABS
malfunction. Although your vehicle’s
brake system will operate normally with-
out ABS, have your nearest dealer check
the system and make any necessary re-
pairs as soon as possible.

CAUTION
• Do not drive with the brake system
warning lamp on.
• This may mean your brakes are not
working properly.
• Driving with malfunctioning brakes
can lead to a collision resulting in
personal injuries and damage to
your vehicle and other property.
If the brake system warning lamp comes
on even when the parking brake is com-
pletely released, it may mean the brake fluid
level in the reservoir is low.
If so, follow these steps:
1. Carefully pull off the road and come to
a stop.
2. Check the brake fluid level.
3. Add the recommended brake fluid up
to the MAX mark. See “ADDING
BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID” in the index.
T02.P65 10
4. Drive carefully at a safe speed to your
nearest dealer to have the brakes in-
spected if the following conditions ex-
ist:
• Your brakes operate normally.
• You judge your vehicle’s brake sys-
tem to be safe.
5. Have your vehicle towed to your near-
est dealer for inspection and repair if
the following conditions exist:
• You find leaks in the brake system.
• The brake system warning lamp
stays on.
• Your brakes do not operate properly.
3/16/2005, 10:42 AM
CAUTION
• Do not drive your vehicle if the
brake system warning lamp does not
come on when the parking brake is
engaged and the ignition is ON.
• Make sure the bulb is working
properly. If the lamp does not come
on when the parking brake is en-
gaged and the ignition is ON, even
though the warning bulb operates
properly, take your vehicle to your
nearest dealer for a check of the
braking system.
These conditions mean your vehicle
may have a fault in the braking sys-
tem.
Failure to keep your vehicle’s brakes
in proper working condition can cause
a collision resulting in personal inju-
ries and damage to your vehicle or
other property.

CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING LAMP
Indicates the battery is being discharged.
The lamp should come on when you turn
the ignition ON. The lamp should go out

To protect your car from theft, an elec-
tronic immobilization system (option)
has been installed in your vehicle. Only
