current battery voltage. The
battery voltage can fluctuate
while viewing this information
on the DIC. This is normal.
Coolant Temperature :
Displays the coolant
temperature in either degrees
Celsius (°C) or degrees
Fahrenheit (°F).
eLSD : Displays the amount of
rear differential coupling when
the Electronic Limited-Slip
Differential (eLSD) is active
and functioning during vehicle
operation. A reading of 1% is
an open differential and 100% is locked. It is normal for the
value to make small or large
changes due to driving
conditions and driver inputs.
For the V-Series Blackwing
models, the eLSD maintains
some coupling even if the
vehicle is stationary or not
accelerating. Coupling values
of 3% and up are typical. See
Limited-Slip Differential
0302.
Engine Boost : If equipped,
displays engine manifold
pressure relative to ambient
air pressure. It will display
boost pressure generated by
the turbocharging system.
Instantaneous Fuel
Economy/Economy Trend :
Displays the current fuel
economy in liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km) or
miles per gallon (mpg). This
number reflects only the
approximate fuel economy and
changes frequently as driving
conditions change. This display
cannot be reset.

The blue high-beam on light
appears on the instrument
cluster when the high beams
are on. There is a sensor near the top
center of the windshield that
automatically controls the
system. Keep this area of the
windshield clear of debris to
allow for best system
performance.
The high-beam headlamps
remain on, under the
automatic control, until one of
the following situations
occurs:
.The system detects an
approaching vehicle's
headlamps.
.The system detects a
preceding vehicle's taillamps.
.The outside light is bright
enough that high-beam
headlamps are not required.
.The vehicle's speed drops
below 20 km/h (12 mph).

cannot detect another
vehicle's lamps because of any
of the following:
.The other vehicle's lamps
are missing, damaged,
obstructed from view,
or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle's lamps
are covered with dirt, snow,
and/or road spray.
.The other vehicle's lamps
cannot be detected due to
dense exhaust, smoke, fog,
snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne
obstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is
dirty, cracked, or obstructed
by something that blocks the
view of the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such
that the front end points
upward, causing the light
sensor to aim high and not
detect headlamps and
taillamps.
.The vehicle is being driven
on winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam
headlamps may need to be
disabled if any of the above
conditions exist.
