Instrument Cluster
Your instrument cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your
vehicle is running. You’ll know how
fast you’re going, about how much
fuel you’ve used, and many other things
you’ll need to know to drive safely
and economically.
If you have the digital cluster it looks different but will tell you everything
the standard cluster does. The digital cluster
also includes a tachometer and
will give readings
in either English or Metric. To switch from English to
Metric, just press down on the E/M button.
Speedometer and Odometer

Your speedometer lets
you see your speed
in
both miles per hour
(mph) and kilometers
per hour (kdh).

Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles
(used in the
U.S.) or kilometers (used in Canada).

you last set the trip odometer to zero.
Make sure the button is completely
depressed
to reset the trip odometer.
To set the trip odometer on the standard cluster to zero, fully depress the
button near the readout.
The trip odometer on
the digital cluster will appear in place of your regular
odometer when
you press down on the Trip button. To reset the trip
odometer
on the digital cluster, press down on the Reset button. To change
back
to the regular odometer, press down on the Trip button again.
Tachometer
The tachometer
displays the engine
speed
in revolutions
per minute (rpm). It is
available
only with the
digital speedometer.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the red area,
or engine damage may occur.
Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This section describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your
vehicle. The pictures
will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it
becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or replacement.
Paying attention
to your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights
go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let
you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you
know when there’s
a problem with your vehicle.
When
one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, or when
one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the
section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow the manual’s advice.
Waiting
to do repairs can be costly - and even dangerous. So please get to
know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part
isn’t working,
the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking,
though,
you need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
This light should come
on as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on
then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
If
the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop
carefully.
You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle’’
in the Index.)
