13. Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light shows low engine oil pres-
sure. The light will turn on and remain
on when the ignition switch is turned
from the LOCK or ACC position to the ON/RUN
position. The light will turn off after the engine is
started. If the light does not turn on during
starting, have the system checked by an au-
thorized dealer.
If the light turns on and remains on while
driving, safely bring the vehicle to a stop and
shut off the engine. DO NOT OPERATE THE
VEHICLE UNTIL THE CAUSE IS CORRECTED.
This light does not show the quantity of oil in the
engine. The engine oil level must be checked
using the proper procedure.
14. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Warning Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS). This light will
turn on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON/RUN position and
it may stay on for approximately
three seconds.
If the light remains on or turns on during driving,
it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the
brake system is not functioning and that ser-
vice is required. However, the conventional
brake system will continue to operate normally,
provided the BRAKE warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should
be serviced as soon as possible to restore the
benefit of Anti-Lock Brakes.
The ABS Warning light should be checked
frequently to assure that it is operating properly.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position,
but do not start the vehicle. The light should
turn on. If the light does not turn on, have the
system checked by an authorized dealer.
15. Tachometer
This gauge measures engine revolutions-per-
minute (RPM x 1000). Before the pointer
reaches the red area, ease up on the accelera-
tor to prevent engine damage. The tachometer
also contains a green area. When the engine
RPM are kept within the green area, you are
driving the vehicle in a fuel efficient manner.
16. 4 LOW Mode Indicator — If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the
vehicle is in the 4WD LOW mode.
In this mode, the front driveshaft
and rear driveshaft are mechani-
cally locked together forcing the
front and rear wheels to rotate at
the same speed.
17. Hill Descent Control Indicator — If
Equipped
The symbol indicates the status of
the Hill Decent Control (HDC) fea-
ture. The lamp will be on solid
when HDC is armed. HDC can
only be armed when the transfer
case is in the “4WD Low” position
and the vehicle speed is less then 30 mph
(48 km/h). If these conditions are not met while
attempting to use the HDC feature, the HDC
indicator lamp will flash on/off.
18. TOW/HAUL Indicator — If Equipped
This light will illuminate when se-
lecting TOW/HAUL. The TOW/
HAUL button is located on the
gearshift bezel.
