3.4 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The Instrument Cluster has easy-to-read instru-
ments, is capable of CAN bus communication and
provides a diagnostic function. The Instrument
Cluster with analog speedometer, tachometer, fuel
and coolant temperature gauges comes in two ver-
sions.
²Speedometer with outer miles-per-hour (mph)
scale and inner kilometers-per-hour (km/h) scale.
Coolant temperature is indicated in Fahrenheit
(for US).
²Speedometer with outer kilometers-per-hour
(km/h) scale and inner miles-per-hours (mph)
scale. Coolant temperature is indicated in de-
grees Celsius (for Canada).
Below the speedometer, there is a LCD multi-
function indicator in clear view of the driver. Warn-
ing and indicator lights (based on colored light
emitting diodes) are located in the bottom of the
instrument cluster with the exception of the turn
signal indicator lights, ASR warning light and re-
serve fuel warning light. The warning lights for the
seat belt usage and parking brake/brake fluid level
are located in the line above the bottom line. The
indicator that illuminates up when the parking
brake is applied or the brake fluid level is low is
different for U.S. and Canada.
When the key is turned to the 2nd position in the
ignition, the function of the following indicator
lights is checked automatically: High Beam ON,
Preheating, airbag malfunction. In case of a broken
LED of the airbag malfunction light, the seat belt
usage warning light will flash for 6 seconds after
the function check is finished. The Instrument
Cluster is operated with the help of 4 buttons
located below the multifunction indicator. The back-
lighting for the instrument cluster uses yellow
LED's and can be adjusted electronically to daylight
and darkness.The instrument cluster includes a warning
buzzer, which sounds (in addition to a warning light
in some cases) when:
²The headlights are on with the ignition off and
the door opened.
²The driver 's seat belt is not fastened with the
ignition on.
²The key is in the ignition and the door is open.
²Critical ASSYST information is displayed in the
multifunction indicator.
3.5 POWER DOOR LOCKS/RKE
3.5.1 CENTRAL LOCKING
The Central Locking System locks all vehicle
doors if any door is locked from the inside or
mechanically locked with the key from the outside.
However, unlocking any door, in that manner, will
only unlock that particular door. The Master Door
Lock Switch on the dash enables the operator to
lock/unlock all doors. By pressing the top of the
rocker type switch once, all doors will lock. Pressing
the switch again will unlock all doors. Pressing the
lower part of the switch once will lock all doors
except the driver door. Pressing the lower part
again will unlock all doors except the driver door. If
the Central Locking System automatically unlocks
after the vehicle was attempted to be locked, at
least one door is not properly closed.
There are two LED indicators in the Master Door
Lock Switch. The left indicator is for the driver door
and the right indicator is for all passenger/cargo
doors. These will indicate if a door is ajar or if the
doors are locked. The door ajar switches are part of
the door lock motor and are mounted in the door
latch assembly.
Inside each door lock motor there is a command
switch. The command switch is operated by the
plunger and signals any change in the lock status,
locked or unlocked. Each command switch is wired
to the Central Timer Module (CTM) sometimes
referred to as the Central Locking Module. If all
doors are closed and are unlocked, and any door is
locked by the key or the interior handle, thereby
changing the command switch, all doors will be
locked. If one of the door lock motors does not reach
the end position after a locking command, it will be
detected by the CTM (command switch not in
9Locked9position) and the vehicle will be unlocked.
3.5.2 REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The SKREEM is a combination of the Remote
Keyless Entry Module and the SKIM (Sentry Key
Immobilizer Module). It is located behind the In-
strument Cluster and has an antenna that goes up
