1. Ignition Switch

2. Speedometer with trip odometer

3. Oil pressure indicator

4. Engine temperature indicator

5. Gasoline (fuel) gauge

6. Battery condition gauge

7. Headlight control

8. Emergency start switch

9. Turn signal lever / Wiper blade & washer control

10. Steering wheel tilt lever

11. Driver’s side air bag (encased in the middle of the steering wheel)

12. Cruise controls

13. Gearshift with overdrive control

B. GAUGES, LIGHTS AND CONTROLS

Ignition Switch: There are five positions on the ignition switch that are not marked

on the switch itself. The first position is the Accessory position, which allows

some 12-volt accessories to be used while the engine is off. The second position

is the Lock position that locks the steering wheel in place and enables you to

remove the key. The third position turns the engine off without locking the

steering wheel. The fourth position is the On position which makes all electrical

functions active. All warning lights are lit up. The fifth position starts the engine

and should be released as soon as the engine starts.
