Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:


The vehicle is raised for an oil change.


You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust.


The vehicle was in an accident that may have damaged the underside.


Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even kill you.


Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.


High levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly in enclosed areas, such as a garage. Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even with the door open, run the engine only long enough to move the vehicle out of the garage.


Carbon Monoxide Hazard


With a truck cap installed and the back window open, engine exhaust may enter the vehicle and cause a hazardous condition. Keep the back window tightly closed whenever you drive with a truck cap installed.


If you must sit in your parked vehicle with the engine running, even in an unconfined area, adjust the heating and cooling system/climate control system as follows:


1. 2. 3. 4.


Select the fresh air mode. Select the Turn the fan on high speed. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.

Instrument Panel Indicators


The instrument panel has many indicators to give you important information about your vehicle.


Malfunction Indicator Lamp 279


See page


Low Oil Pressure Indicator


The engine can be severely damaged if this indicator flashes or stays on when the engine is running. For more information, see page 278


Charging System Indicator


If this indicator comes on when the engine is running, the battery is not being charged. For more information, see page


278


Seat Belt Reminder Indicator


This indicator comes on when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II). It reminds you and your passengers to fasten your seat belts. A beeper also sounds if you have not fastened your seat belt.


If you turn the ignition switch to ON (II) before fastening your seat belt, the beeper sounds and the indicator flashes. If you do not fasten your seat belt before the beeper stops, the indicator stops flashing but remains on.


If you continue driving without fastening your seat belt, the beeper sounds and the indicator flashes again at regular intervals.


Supplemental Restraint System Indicator


This indicator comes on briefly when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II). If it comes on at any other time, it indicates a potential problem with your front airbags. This indicator will also alert you to a potential problem with your side airbags, passenger’s side airbag automatic cutoff system, side curtain airbags, rollover sensor, or automatic seat belt tensioners. For more information, see page 27

Turn Signal and Hazard Warning Indicators


The left or right turn signal indicator blinks when you signal a lane change or turn. If an indicator does not blink or blinks rapidly, it usually means one of the turn signal bulbs is burned out (see pages ). and Replace the bulb as soon as possible, since other drivers cannot see that you are signaling.

Odometer This shows the total distance your vehicle has been driven. It measures miles in U.S. models and kilometers in Canadian models. It is illegal under U.S. federal law and Canadian provincial regulations to disconnect, reset, or alter the odometer with the intent to change the number of miles or kilometers indicated.

Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount. Driving uphill or making turns can cause the needle to fluctuate or the low fuel indicator to come on early. The needle returns to the bottom after you turn off the ignition.


Avoid driving with an extremely low f uel level. Running out of f uel could cause the engine to misf ire, damaging the catalytic converter.

Temperature Gauge This shows the temperature of the engine’s coolant. During normal operation, the pointer should rise from the bottom white mark to about the middle of the gauge. In severe driving conditions, such as very hot weather or a long period of uphill driving, the pointer may rise to the upper zone. If it reaches the red (hot) mark, pull safely to the side of the road. See page instructions and precautions on checking the engine’s cooling system.

Outside Temperature Indicator Ifequipped This indicator displays the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S. models) or Centigrade (Canadian models).


The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. Therefore, the temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road surface, engine heat, and the exhaust from surrounding traffic. This can cause an incorrect temperature reading when your speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).


The sensor delays the indicator update until it reaches the correct outside temperature. This may take several minutes.
