+to combination meter terminal 24 (with tachometer) or 23 (without tachometer).
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGENJEL0042S01The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature. The reading on the gauge is based
on the resistance of the thermal transmitter.
As the temperature of the coolant increases, the resistance of the thermal transmitter decreases. A variable
ground is supplied to terminal 19 (with tachometer) or 34 (without tachometer) of the combination meter for
the water temperature gauge. The needle on the gauge moves from ªCº to ªHº.
TACHOMETERNJEL0042S02The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
The tachometer is regulated by a signal
+from terminal 32 (Gasoline engine models) or 439 (Diesel engine models) of the ECM
+to combination meter terminal 21 for the tachometer.
FUEL GAUGENJEL0042S03The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by a variable ground signal supplied
+from body grounds B9, B21 and B308
+through terminal 1 (Gasoline engine models) or 3 (Diesel engine models) of the fuel level sensor unit and
+through terminal 4 (Gasoline engine models) or 1 (Diesel engine models) of the fuel level sensor unit
+to combination meter terminal 20 (with tachometer) or 35 (without tachometer) for the fuel gauge.
SPEEDOMETERNJEL0042S04The combination meter provides a voltage signal to the vehicle speed sensor for the speedometer.
The voltage is supplied
+from combination meter terminal 23 (with tachometer) or 37 (without tachometer) for the speedometer
+to terminal 1 of the vehicle speed sensor.
The speedometer converts the voltage into the vehicle speed displayed.

Combination Meter Calibration
After replacing a combination meter, it might be necessary to cali-
brate the fuel gauge/low fuel warning lamp. In case the fuel warn-
ing lamp is flashing after replacing the combination meter perform
the following:
1. Press both reset buttons.
2. Turn the ignition ONand keep the reset buttons depressed
for at least 5 seconds.
3. Release both reset buttons.
The low fuel warning lamp will stop flashing and the combina-
tion meter will show CALL and possibly CALL FAIL. Showing
CALL FAIL does not indicate a concern as this might be related
to the current (unexpected) amount of fuel in the tank.

NATS AUDIO LINKNJEL0381S04DescriptionNJEL0381S0401The link with the NATS IMMU implies that the audio unit can basically only be operated if connected to the
matching NATS IMMU to which the audio unit was initially fitted on the production line.
Since radio operation is impossible after the link with the NATS is disrupted theft of the audio unit is basically
useless since special equipment is required to reset the audio unit.
Initialization process for audio units that are linked to the NATS IMMU
New audio units will be delivered to the factories in the ªNEWº state, i.e. ready to be linked with the vehicle's
NATS. When the audio unit in ªNEWº state is first switched on at the factory, it will start up communication
with the vehicle's immobiliser control unit (IMMU) and send a code (the ªaudio unit Codeº) to the IMMU. The
IMMU will then store this code, which is unique to each audio unit, in its (permanent) memory.
Upon receipt of the code by the IMMU, the NATS will confirm correct receipt of the audio unit code to the audio
unit. Hereafter, the audio unit will operate as normal.
During the initialisation process, ªNEWº is displayed on the audio unit display. Normally though, communica-
tion between audio unit and IMMU takes such a short time (300 ms) that the audio unit seems to switch on
directly without showing ªNEWº on its display.
Normal operation
Each time the audio unit is switched on afterwards, the audio unit code will be verified between the audio unit
and the NATS before the audio unit becomes operational. During the code verification process, ªWAITº is
shown on the audio unit display. Again, the communication takes such a short time (300 ms) that the audio
unit seems to switch on directly without showing ªWAITº on its display.
When the radio is locked
In case of a audio unit being linked with the vehicle's NATS (immobilizer system), disconnection of the link
between the audio unit and the IMMU will cause the audio unit to switch into the lock (ªSECUREº) mode in
which the audio unit is fully inoperative. Hence, repair of the audio unit is basically impossible, unless the audio
unit is reset to the ªNEWº state for which special decoding equipment is required.
Clarion has provided their authorized service representatives with so called ªdecoder boxesº which can bring
the audio unit back to the ªNEWº state, enabling the audio unit to be switched on after which repair can be
