1. Tachometer

Indicates the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Voltmeter
When the vehicle is in the RUN state, the
gauge indicates the electrical system
voltage. The pointer should stay within the
normal range if the battery is charged. If the
pointer moves to either extreme left or right
and remains there during normal driving,
the electrical system should be serviced.
NOTE:In vehicles equipped with Stop/Start, a reduced
voltage may be present during an Autostop.

display shows the instrument cluster
display messages Ú page 114.
The display always shows one of the main
menu items after ignition on. 4. Oil Pressure Gauge

pressure when the engine is running. A
continuous high or low reading under
normal driving conditions may indicate a
lubrication system malfunction. Immediate
service should be obtained from an autho

rized dealer.
NOTE:In vehicles equipped with Stop/Start, an oil
pressure indication of zero is normal during an
Autostop.
