INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION
Your vehicle is equipped with the instrument cluster
described on the following pages.
1. Voltmeter Indicates available battery voltage and charging
system operation. The lower red zone indicates
that battery charge may be too low to start the engine.
With the engine running, the normal operating range is
between 11 and 15 volts. Prolonged gauge readings
between 8-11 (undercharge) or above 15 (overcharge)
indicate possible malfunction of generator, voltage regu-
lator or battery. See your dealer if such indications occur.
2. Front Fog Light Indicator Light — If Equipped This light shows when the front fog lights are on.
3. Cruise Indicator Light This light shows when the electronic speed
control system is turned on. 4. Sentry Key Indicator Light — If Equipped
Refer to “Sentry Key Immobilizer System” in
Section 2 of this manual. (See page 14 for more
information.)
5. Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute
(RPM).
CAUTION!
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer
pointer in the red area. Engine damage will occur.
6. Turn Signal Indicator Lights The arrows will flash with the exterior turn signals
when the turn signal lever is operated. A tone will
chime if the turn signals are left on for more than 1 mile
(2 km).
