Speedometer (EVIC)
Indicates the speed of the vehicle in MPH or km/h.
Adjusting Instrument Panel Illumination (Light Sen-

Odometer
The odometer display shows the total distance the ve-
hicle has been driven.
U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer of
vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If your
odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair
technician should leave the odometer reading the same
as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so,
then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must
be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was
before the repair or service.
It is a good idea for you to make a record of the odometer
reading before the repair/service, so that you can be sure
that it is properly reset, or that the door jamb sticker is
accurate if the odometer must be reset at zero.
Tachometer
Reports the number of Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) of
the engine.
Fuel Gauge
The digital indicator on the display indicates the amount
of fuel in the fuel tank.
When the fuel tank level drops to 1.3-1.85 gallons (5-7
liters) remaining, a light will illuminate, a message will
display, and a chime will sound.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tempera-
ture. Any reading within the normal range indicates that
the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tempera-
ture when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades,
or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to
exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.
In the normal use of the car, the digital scale may move in
different positions.
Instrument Cluster With EVIC/DID
The indicator light will illuminate, a message will dis-
play, and a chime will sound to indicate an excessive rise
in the temperature of the engine coolant.
In the case of excessive rises in the temperature of the
engine coolant, the engine may shut down. See an
authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads
“H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on the “H” and you hear continuous chimes,
turn the engine off immediately and call an autho-
rized dealer for service.
