26. Parking Brake System Warning
Light
The Parking Brake Warning
Light will illuminate and stay
on briefly as a bulb check
when the ignition is first
turned on. This indicator lights when
the parking brake is operated.
27. Position Light Indicator Light
This light illuminates when
the parking lights or head-
lights are turned ON.
28. Malfunction Indicator Light
This light is part of an On-
board Diagnostic System
(OBD) that monitors emis-
sions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. The
light will illuminate when the key is in
the ON position before the engine
starts. If the light does not turn on
when turning the key from LOCK or
ACC to ON, have the condition
checked promptly. If the Malfunction
Indicator Light turns on when the en-
gine is running, the vehicle should be
serviced as soon as possible.
Audio System
General Information
The radio will provide excellent re-
ception under most operating condi-
tions. However, like any system, ra-
dios have performance limitations. To
help you understand and avoid con-
cern about these possible malfunc-
tions, you must understand how radio
signals are transmitted and received.
Radio Signals
There are two basic types of radio sig-
nals:
• AM (Amplitude Modulation), in which
the transmitted sound causes the am-
plitude, or height of the radio waves
to vary.
• FM (Frequency Modulation), in which
the frequency of the wave is varied
to carry the sound.
AM Reception
AM sound is based on wave ampli-
tude, so AM reception can be dis-
rupted by such things as lightning,
power lines and neon signs.
FM Reception
Because FM transmission is based on
frequency variations, interference that
consists of amplitude variations can
be filtered out, leaving the reception
relatively clear, which is the major fea-
ture of FM radio.
