4. Turn Signal Indicators

The arrow will flash with the exterior turn
signal when the turn signal lever is operated.

NOTE:

• A continuous chime will sound if the vehicle is

driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn
signal on.

• Check for an inoperative outside light bulb if either

indicator remains on and does not flash, or flashes at
a rapid rate.

5. Voltmeter

When the engine is running, the gauge indicates
the electrical system voltage. The pointer should

stay within the normal range if the battery is charged.

If the pointer moves to either extreme left or right and
remains there during normal driving, the electrical sys-
tem should be serviced.

NOTE:

The voltmeter may show a gauge fluctuation at

various engine temperatures. This cycling operation is
caused by the post-heat cycle of the intake manifold
heater system. The number of cycles and the length of the
cycling operation is controlled by the engine control
module. Post-heat operation can run for several minutes,
and then the electrical system and voltmeter needle will
stabilize.

6. Brake Warning Light

This light monitors various brake functions,
including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the brake light turns on it may
indicate that the parking brake is applied, that

the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with
the Anti-lock Brake System reservoir.
