Unique instrument cluster lighting
Your vehicle is equipped with a unique instrument cluster color display.
In place of orange, you can select R-W-B which will illuminate the
speedometer in red, the Fuel/Boost/Temp/Oil pressure gauges in white
and the tachometer in blue. Pointer colors are not adjustable.
The instrument cluster will momentarily display the R-W-B coloring when
the ignition is turned to on or start and will then return to the previously
chosen color.
For instructions on how to set the instrument cluster display color or
