Instrument Cluster Descriptions
1. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
2. Fuel Gauge
The pointer shows the level of fuel in the 
fuel tank when the ignition switch is in 
the ON/RUN position.
 The fuel pump arrow symbol points 
to the side of the vehicle where the 
fuel door is located.
3. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine 
coolant temperature. Any reading within 
the normal range indicates that the 
engine cooling system is operating satis -
factorily.
The pointer will likely indicate a higher 
temperature when driving in hot weather 
or up mountain grades. It should not be 
allowed to exceed the upper limits of the 
normal operating range. 4. Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in revolutions 
per minute (RPM x 1000).
5. Instrument Cluster Display
When the appropriate conditions exist, 
this display shows the instrument cluster 
display messages  Ú page 44.
 Instrument Cluster Display Location
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY 
Your vehicle will be equipped with an 
instrument cluster display, which offers useful 
information to the driver. With the ignition in the 
OFF mode, opening/closing of a door will 
activate the display for viewing, and display the 
total miles, or kilometers, in the odometer. The 
steering wheel mounted controls allow you to 
scroll through the main menus and submenus. 
You can access the specific information you 
want and make selections and adjustments.
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  Ú
page 229.
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,” turn the engine off 
immediately and call an authorized dealer for 
service.
