INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION
1. Tachometer
Indicates the permissible engine revolutions-per-minute
for each gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up
on the accelerator to prevent engine damage.
2. Turn Signal Indicator Light
The arrows will flash in unison with the exterior
turn signals, when using the multi-function control
lever. A chime will sound if the turn signals are left on
continuously for 2 miles (3 km) until they are deacti-
vated.
3. High Beam Indicator Light
This light shows that the headlights are on high
beam. Pull the multi-function control lever to-
wards the steering wheel to switch the headlights from
high to low beam.4. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
5. Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Light — If Equipped
This light will turn on when there is a low tire
pressure condition. The light will also turn on
if a problem exist with any tire sensor. The light
will remain on until the tire pressure is prop-
erly set or the problem with the sensor is corrected.
This light will turn on momentarily as a bulb check when
the engine is started.
When the “Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Light” is lit,
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on
the vehicle’s tire information placard. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
