Indicator Lights
Supplemental
Restraint System
Indicator
Only on cars equipped with SRS
The SRS light normally comes on
for a few seconds when you turn
the ignition ON (II). If it doesn't, or
it stays on after the engine starts,
something is wrong with the
Supplemental Restraint System. It
may also flash on and off to indi-
cate a problem.
If you see any of these indications,
the airbag may not work when
needed in an accident. Take the car
to your dealer promptly for diag-
nosis and service.
Anti-lock
Brake System
(ABS)
Indicator
Only on cars equipped with ABS (see
page
106
)
This light normally comes on when
you turn the ignition ON (II) and
goes off after the engine starts. If it
comes on at any other time, there is
a problem in the ABS. If this
happens, take the car to your
dealer to have it checked. With the
light on, your car still has normal
braking ability but no anti-lock.
Upshift Indicator
Only on U.S. VX and CX (except in
California) and Canadian VX models
The upshift indicator's purpose is
to help you get better fuel economy.
It does this by lighting to inform
you of the most economical point to
upshift your manual transmission.
You get the best fuel economy by
driving in the highest gear practi-
cal for your road speed, and by
using light to moderate pressure on
the accelerator pedal. When you
are accelerating moderately, the
upshift indicator will light when it
is the best time to shift to the next
higher gear. By shifting as soon as
the light comes on, you will keep
the engine operating in its most
economical range. The upshift
indicator will then go out until it is
time to upshift again.
