The fuel gauge
[LG13100( ALL)08/93]
The fuel gauge displays approximately how
much fuel is in the fuel tank only when the
ignition switch is ON. For proper fuel gauge
indication after adding fuel, turn the ignition
switch OFF while refueling the vehicle.
[LG13150( ALL)08/93]
The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly when
the vehicle is in motion. The most accurate
reading is obtained with the vehicle on level
ground.
*
[LG13200( ALL)08/93]
With ignition switch OFF, the fuel gauge
indicator may drift from the ignition switch ON
position.

[LG13400( ALL)01/95]
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
*
[LG13550( ALL)03/95]
This gauge indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the
coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the
gauge indication will not be accurate.
[LG13600( ALL)03/94]
The pointer moves from the C (cold) mark into
the NORMAL band as your engine coolant
warms up. Under normal driving conditions, the
pointer should stay in the NORMAL band. It is
acceptable for the pointer to fluctuate within the
NORMAL band under normal driving

Trip Odometer
*
[LG15300( ALL)03/93]
If you want to track your mileage up to 999.9
miles (kilometers), use the trip odometer. Simply
set the trip odometer to zero by pressing the
reset button firmly when beginning the distance
you wish to measure.
*
[LG15350( ALL)01/95]
Since the trip odometer displays distance
independent of the odometer it will not always
advance to the next mile (kilometer) at the same
time as the odometer.

Battery Voltage Gauge (If Equipped)
*
[LG16225( ALL)05/94]
This gauge shows you the battery voltage when
the ignition key is in the ON position.
*
[LG16230( ALL)05/94]
If the battery is operating under cold weather
conditions, the pointer may indicate in the upper
range of the NORMAL band while the battery is
charging. If you are running electrical accessories
(when the engine is off, or idling at a low
speed), the pointer may move toward the lower
end of the NORMAL band.
*
[LG16260( ALL)05/94]
If it stays outside the NORMAL band, have your
vehicle's electrical system checked as soon as it
is safely possible.

The Electronic Cluster
*
[LG23900( GV)01/95]
The electronic cluster works only when your
ignition is in the ON position. Each time you
start your vehicle, the displays go through a
self-test by flashing on and off once before the
actual readings are displayed. (Neither the turn
signals nor the high beam indicator light will
flash like the other indicators do for the
self-test.) Some of the warning lights will flash
on and remain on (will not immediately flash
off) until the normal cluster display is lit. This
self-test is used to indicate that all of the
warning/indicator lights are working properly.
*
[LG24000( GV)01/95]
Your electronic cluster tells you about the
condition of your vehicle by using two types of
equipment:
*

72 [LG30885( GV)05/94]NOTE: At least 2.5 gallons (9.5 liters) of fuel
must be added for the fuel gauge to
immediately show the new level of
fuel. If less than 2.5 gallons (9.5 liters)
of fuel is added, the gauge will reach
the new level slowly.
[LG30890( GV)10/90]
If the fuel gauge displays only the top two bars
and the bottom two bars, or, if fuel remaining or
distance to empty functions display CO or CS,
then there is a problem. Take your vehicle in for
service.
[LG30900( GV)03/92]
When you turn the ignition key to the ON or
ACC position, all the display segments will light
up, then go off for a second indicating the gauge
is working. Then the gauge will show you how
much fuel you have in the tank.

FUEL REMAIN Ð Fuel Remaining
[LG31100( GV)05/95]

[LG31200( GV)01/95]
This function shows you how many gallons
(liters) of fuel you have left in the fuel tank.
[LG31300( GV)03/94]
If your fuel level is above 20 gallons (76 liters),
the letter ªFº (full) will appear on the display.
But if your fuel level has dropped to below
1 gallon (4 liters), the letter ªEº (empty) will
appear in the display.
*
[LG31400( GV)01/95]
Because of factors like rounding of numbers and
fuel movement in the tank, your fuel gauge and
the service station fuel pump readings may
disagree slightly.

Odometer
*
[LG34200( GV)01/95]
The odometer tells you the total number of miles
or kilometers your vehicle has been driven. If
the cluster is replaced, and the accumulated
mileage on the odometer is unknown, the
replacement cluster will have the circled ªSº
illuminated with zero miles on the odometer. If
the actual vehicle mileage can be verified, then
an authorized service center can program the
actual mileage into the odometer of the
replacement cluster. The actual mileage (if
known) or an estimated mileage (if unknown) is
shown on a label affixed on the door pillar.
