INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS
1. Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle speed in miles per
hour (MPH) and/or kilometers per hour (km/h).
2. Low Fuel Light
The Low Fuel Light will come on when approximately
2–6 gal (9–11 L) remains in the tank, the light will stay on
and a single chime will sound until fuel is added.
3. Fuel Gauge
When the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position, the
pointer will show the level of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank.
4. Fuel Door Location ReminderThe fuel pump symbol points to the side of the
vehicle where the fuel door is located. 5. Turn Signal Indicators
The arrow will flash with the exterior turn
signal when the turn signal lever is operated.
NOTE: •A continuous chime will sound if the vehicle is
driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn
signal on.
• Check for an inoperative outside light bulb if either
indicator remains on and does not flash, or flashes at
a rapid rate.
6. Park/Headlight ON Indicator — If Equipped
This indicator will illuminate when the park
lights or headlights are turned on.

7. 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.
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,
CAUTION!(Continued)
turn the engine off immediately and call an autho-
rized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer
for service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to
look under the hood yourself, see “Maintaining Your
Vehicle.” Follow the warnings under the “Cooling
System Pressure Cap” paragraph.

8. Generic Warning LightThe Generic Warning Light will illuminate if
any of the following conditions occur:
• Air Bag Warning Light Fault, (If the Generic Warning
Light starts flashing have your vehicle serviced by an
authorized dealer immediately)
• Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure
• Parking Sensor Failure
• External Lamp Failure (position, plate, rear fog, turn,
stop, drl, stop start failure)
9. Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine con-
dition. As engine coolant temperatures rise and
the gauge approaches H, this indicator will
illuminate and a single chime will sound after
reaching a set threshold. Further overheating will cause the temperature gauge to pass
H, a continuous chime will
occur until the engine is allowed to cool or the four
minutes duration is expired, whichever comes first.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and
stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also,
shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the ve-
hicle. If the temperature reading does not return to
normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for
service. Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “What To
Do In Emergencies” for further information.
10. Tachometer
The tachometer indicates engine speed in Revolutions
Per Minute (RPM x 1000).
11. High Beam Indicator
This light shows that the high beam headlights
are on. Pull the multifunction lever toward you
4
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 149

to switch the headlights to high beam. Pull the lever a
second time to switch the headlights back to low beam.
NOTE:If the driver’s door is open, and the headlights or
park lights are left on, the high beam indicator light will
remain illuminated and a chime will sound until lights
have been turned to the off position.
12. Glow Plug Light — If Equipped
If this icon blinks, it indicates that the engine
cranking is inhibited in order to prevent possible
engine damage while starting at low temperatures.
13. Engine Oil Level Warning Light
This warning light appears on the panel when the
engine oil level falls below the minimum recom-
mended value. Restore the correct engine oil level
or contact your authorized dealer for service.
14. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
This light informs you of a problem with the
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. The
light will come on when the ignition is first
turned ON and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light does not come on during starting, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.
If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the
engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the
vehicle has completely stopped and the gear selector is
placed in the 1st position. The light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine running, your
vehicle will usually be drivable. However, see an autho-
rized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is
flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is
required. You may experience reduced performance, an
elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing.
