Instrument Cluster and Indicators
Form No. 8R29-EA-02I
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately how
much fuel is in the tank. We recommend
keeping the tank over 1/4 full. When the
low fuel warning light illuminates or
when the needle is near E, refuel as soon
as possible.

When the headlight switch is in the or
position, rotate the thumb-wheel to
adjust the brightness of the dashboard
lights.
Instrument Cluster Dimmer
Cancel Button (Black-out meter)
When the headlight switch is in the or
position, the instrument cluster
illumination dims.
When driving on snowy or foggy roads, or
in other situations when the instrument
cluster’s visibility is reduced due to glare
from surrounding brightness, the
instrument cluster dimmer cancel button
increases the illumination intensity.
Press the button to increase the intensity
of the instrument cluster illumination.
Press the button again to return to the
previous illumination.
