Instrumentation Shift indicator light (if equipped) To maximize fuel economy, the shift indicator light illuminates when the manual transmission should be shifted to the next highest gear. Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (If equipped) Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned on and the engine ABS is off. If the light does not illuminate momentarily at start up, remains on or continues to flash, the ABS needs to be serviced. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake system is disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated with parking brake released. Turn signal Illuminates when the left or right turn signal or the hazard lights are turned on. If one or both of the indicators stay on continuously or flash faster, check for a burned-out turn signal bulb. Refer to Exterior bulbs in the Maintenance and care chapter. High beams Illuminates when the high beam headlamps are turned on. Anti-theft system (if equipped) Refer to SecuriLock passive anti-theft system in the Controls and features chapter. THEFT 9
