Introduction


ICONS Indicates a warning. Read the following section on Warnings for a full explanation. Indicates that vehicle information related to recycling and other environmental concerns will follow. We must all play our part in protecting the environment. Correct vehicle usage and the authorized disposal of waste cleaning and lubrication materials are significant steps toward this aim.


WARNINGS How can you reduce the risk of personal injury and prevent possible damage to others, your vehicle, and its equipment? In this owner’s guide, answers to such questions are contained in comments highlighted by the warning triangle symbol.


BREAKING IN YOUR VEHICLE There are no particular breaking-in rules for your vehicle. Simply avoid driving too fast during the first 1 600 km (1 000 miles). Vary speeds frequently. This is necessary to give the moving parts a chance to break in.


11CIten 17.6.99 10:37 Uhr Seite 3


If possible, you should avoid hard braking for the first 1 600 km (1 000 miles). From 1 600 km (1 000 miles) onwards, you can gradually increase the performance of your vehicle up to the permitted maximum speeds.

If the light stays on for more than three (3) seconds after the ignition is turned to the ON position or stays on continuously while you are driving, have the traction control system checked by a qualified technician as soon as possible. For more information, refer to Traction Control in the Driving chapter.


Low coolant (if equipped) Briefly illuminates when the ignition is turned on and the engine is off. Illuminates when the engine coolant level is low. Refer to the Maintenance and care chapter to check the engine coolant level.


O/D Off indicator (Automatic transaxle only) Illuminates and remains illuminated when the transaxle control switch (TCS) on the side of the gearshift lever is pressed and overdrive is turned off. For details, refer to the Driving chapter. Indicates the status of the transaxle and will flash steadily if a malfunction is detected. If the flashing persists, have your transaxle serviced by your dealer or a qualified service technician as soon as possible. If the condition persists, your transaxle may be damaged.

CHECK ENGINE


Check engine Your vehicle is equipped with a computer that monitors the engine’s emission control system. This system is commonly known as the On Board Diagnostics (OBD II) system. This OBD II system protects the environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards. The OBD II system also assists the service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.


12


12CInen 17.6.99 10:41 Uhr Seite 13


Instrumentation


The check engine indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require towing.


What you should do if the check engine light illuminates


Light turns on solid: This means that the OBD II system has detected a malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may cause your check engine light to illuminate. Examples are: • The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run poorly) • Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel. • The fuel cap may not have been securely tightened.


13


12CInen 17.6.99 10:41 Uhr Seite 14


Instrumentation


These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank with good quality fuel and/or properly tightening the fuel cap. After three drive cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the check engine light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is required. If the check engine light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.


Light is blinking: Engine misfire is occuring which could damage your catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.


Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle com- ponents, possibly causing a fire.


14


12CInen 17.6.99 10:41 Uhr Seite 15


Low fuel reminder Illuminates as an early reminder of a low fuel condition indicated on the fuel gauge (refer to Fuel Gauge in this chapter for more information). When refueling the vehicle after the light first comes on, the amount of fuel that can be added will be less than the advertised capacity since there is still fuel in the tank. The ignition must be in the ON position for this lamp to illuminate. The lamp will also illuminate for several seconds immediately after the ignition is turned to the ON position regardless of the fuel level for bulb verification.


Air bag readiness Briefly illuminates when the ignition is turned on. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash, or remains on, have the system serviced immediately.


Front foglamps (if equipped) Illuminates when foglamps are switched on. Refer to Foglamp control in the Controls and features chapter for notes on use.

Brake system warning Extinguishes when the parking brake is released. Illuminates after releasing the parking brake to indicate low brake fluid level. Illumination while driving may indicate that one of the braking circuits has failed. The second braking circuit will remain intact. However, you will need to brake harder and allow for increased stopping distances.


16


12CInen 17.6.99 10:41 Uhr Seite 17


Have the system checked by your dealer or qualified technician before continuing your journey.


Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (if equipped) Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned on and the engine is off. If the light stays on or continues to flash, the ABS needs to be serviced.


Brake system and ABS warning lights If both warning lights illuminate at the same time while driving, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Have the braking system checked by your dealer or qualified service technician before continuing your journey. When stopping the vehicle, slowly reduce the speed. Use the brakes with great care.

If any of these lights do not illuminate, see your dealer or qualified service technician.

Fuel gauge The fuel gauge displays approximately how much fuel is in the tank (when the key is in the ON position). The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion. The ignition should be in the OFF position while the vehicle is being refueled. When the gauge first indicates empty, there is a small amount of reserve fuel in the tank. When refueling the vehicle from empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will be less than the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.
