1. Warning lights, indicator lights, meter needles, gauge needles, odometer and trip meter back light illuminate.

2. Meter needles and gauge needles each show MAX position.

3. Meter needles and gauge needles each show MIN position.

4. Dials and indicators in meters and gauges light up.

NOTE

The above sequence of operations may not take place if you quickly turn the ignition switch to start the engine. This is not a malfunction.
