correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. There-

replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading
before and after the service so the correct mileage can be
determined.
19. Door Ajar Indicator
This vacuum fluorescent display indicator illuminates
when a door is not completely closed. If the door is open
for more than 8 minutes and the ignition key is in the
OFF position, the indicator will turn off.
20. Trip Indicator

use.
21. Cruise Light — If Equipped
This indicator shows that the Speed Control
System is ON.
NOTE:
The word “SET” will not illuminate when the
Speed Control System is on.
22. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant
temperature. Any reading between the light
blue and red areas of the gauge shows that the engine
cooling system is operating properly. The gauge
pointer may show a higher than normal temperature
when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, in
heavy stop and go traffic, or when towing a trailer.
If the pointer rises to the H (red) mark, the instrument
cluster will sound a chime. Pull off the road at a safe area.
With the vehicle in Park, idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into
the normal range. If the pointer remains on the H (red)
mark, turn the ignition off immediately and call for
service.
There are steps that you can take to slow down an
impending overheat condition. If your air conditioning is
on, turn it off. The air conditioning system adds heat to
the engine cooling system and turning off the A/C
removes this heat. You can also turn the Temperature
control to maximum heat, the Mode control to Floor and
the Fan control to High. This allows the heater core to act
as a supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat
from the engine cooling system.
