Your exhaust system sounds strange or different. Your vehicle gets rusty underneath. Your vehicle was damaged in a collision. YQUS vehicle was damaged when driving over high points on the road or over road debris. Repairs weren’t done correctly. Your vehicle or exhaust system had been modified improperly.
If you ever suspect exhaust is coming into your vehicle:
Drive it only with all the windows down to blow out any CQ; and
Q Have your vehicle fixed immediately.
It’s better not to park with the engine running. 3118 if you ever have to, here are some things to know.
Idling the engine with the climate control system off could sallow dangerous exhaust into YOME- vehicle (see the earlier Caution under “Engine Exhaust”). Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly carbon momxide (CO) into your vehicle even if this can happen is a garage. Exhaust -- with the fan switch is at the highest setting. One place CO -- can come in easily. NEVER park in a garage with the engine running. Another closed-in @ace can be a blizzard. (See “Blizzard” in the Index.)
I& can be dangerous to get ut of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (PI with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll. Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you’ve left the engine mnnhg, the vehicle can B P ~ Q V ~ suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure YOW vehicle won’t move, even when you’re OEI fairly level ground, always set your parking brake and move the shift lever to PARK (PI.

Vehicles are delivered programed to Bock out all passenger windows. If you have the optional D K , you can choose to lock out only the rea- windows. See “Personal Choice Features” or “Driver Information Center’’ in the Index for programming instructions. If you do not have the DIC feature, see your dealer if YOU choose to have this setting changed to lock out only the rear windows.

You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain OH snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The closer to LO, the shorter the delay between wipes. For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you to the LO position. For high-speed wiping, turn the band further, io HI. To stop the wipers, move the band to OFF. Remember that damaged wiper biades may prevent you from seeing well enough to dive safely. TO avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. Hf they're frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them.

Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages coukl also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s hn~tions. As YOU
will see in the details 010. the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they’re working. If you are
familiar with t i s section, YOU should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Cages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
with
warning lights work together to let you h o w when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes QII and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to d~ repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous. So please get to h o w your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a driver information system

Reducing vehicle speed.
Avoiding hard accelerations.
e Avoiding steep uphill grades.
If YOU are towing a trailer, reduce the amount of
cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible.
If the light stops flashing and remains on steady, see “If
the Light Is On Steady” following.
Sf the light continues to flash, when it is safe to do so,
stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park your vehicle.
Turn the key off, wait at least IO seconds and restart the

NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light
on, after a whiie, your emission controls rnay not
work as well, your fuel economy may not be as
good and your engine may not PUR as smoothly.
This could lead to costly repairs that may not be
covered by p u r warranty.
This jight should corne on, as a check to show YOU it is
working, when the ignition is on and the engine is not
running. If the light doesn’t come on, have it repaired.
This light will also come QII during ;I malfunction in one
of ~ W O ways:
8 Light Flashing -- A misfire condition has been
detected. A misfire increases vehicle emissions and
may damage the emission controi system on your
vehicle. Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis
and service rnay be required.
@ Eight On Steady -- An emission control system
malfunction has been detected on your vehicle.
Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis and
service may be required.
If so, be sure to he1 your vehicie with quality fuel (see
"Fuel" in the Index). Poor fuel quality will cause your
engine not to F J ~ as efficiently as designed. YQU may
notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you
pent the vehicle into gear, misfiring, hesitation on
acceleration or stumbling on acceleration. (These
conditions may go away once the engine is warned up. j
This will be detected by the system and cause the light
to turn OR.
If you experience one or more of these conditions,
chmge the fuel brand you use. It will n-ecpire at least one
full tank of the proper fuel to tuna the light off.
If none of the above steps hove lrirade the light turn off,
have your dealer or qualified service center check the
vehicle. Your dealer has the proper test equipment and
diagnostic tools to fix any nnechanicai or electnictrl
problems that may have developed.
If so, your electrical system may be wet. The condition
will usually be cgrrected when the electrical system
dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off.
