90 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS
1.
Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per
minute (RPM x 1000).
2.
Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant
temperature. Any reading within the normal range
indicates that the engine cooling system is oper-
ating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher
temperature when driving in hot weather, up
mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It
should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits
of the normal operating range.
3.
Instrument Cluster Display
The instrument cluster display features a driver
interactive display. Refer to “Instrument Cluster
Display” in this chapter for further information.
4.
Fuel Gauge
The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank
when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
The fuel pump symbol points to the
side of the vehicle where the fuel filler
door is located.
Refer to “Refueling The Vehicle” in
“Starting And Operating” for further information.
5.
Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
Your vehicle may be equipped with an instrument cluster
display, which offers useful information to the driver. With
the ignition in the OFF mode, opening/closing of a door will
activate the display for viewing, and display the total miles
(kilometers) in the odometer. Your instrument cluster
display is designed to display important information about
your vehicle’s systems and features. The Driver Interactive
Display, located in the instrument panel, indicates how
systems are operating and gives you warnings when a
system, or systems, needs your attention. The steering
wheel mounted controls allow you to scroll through and
enter the main menus and submenus. You can access the
specific information you want to make selections and
adjustments.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer pointer
in the red area. Engine damage will occur.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others
could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You
may want to call an authorized dealer for service if your
vehicle overheats.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage
your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “H” pull
over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into
the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H”,
turn the engine off immediately and call an authorized
dealer for service.
