Adjusting instrument cluster
illumination
ODN8A059337
When the vehicle's parking lamps or

Tachometer
„„Type C
„
„Type D
OLX2048105/ODN8049005
OCN7040007
„
„Type A, B
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine
revolutions per minute (RPM).
Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/
or over-revving the engine.
NOTICE
Do not operate the engine within the
tachometer's RED ZONE. This may
cause severe engine damage. Engine coolant temperature gauge
„„Type A, B
ODN8A049041
„„Type C
ODN8A049006
„„Type D
OCN7040009
This gauge indicates the temperature
of the engine coolant when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.

Instrument Cluster
4-6
NOTICE
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the "H"
position, it indicates overheating that
may damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your engine
overheats, refer to "If the Engine
Overheats" in chapter 7.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap or
reservoir cap when the engine is hot.
The engine coolant is under pressure
and could severely burn. Wait until the
engine is cool before adding coolant to
the reservoir. Fuel gauge
„„Type A, B
ODN8A049040
„„Type C
ODN8A049007
„„Type D
OCN7040011
This gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.

04
4 -7
Information
• The fuel tank capacity is given in
chapter 2.
• The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will illuminate when the fuel tank is nearly
empty.
• On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier than usual due to the movement of fuel in the tank.
WARNING
Running out of fuel can expose vehicle
occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain additional
fuel as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the "E
(Empty)" level.
NOTICE
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire and damage
the catalytic converter. Outside temperature gauge
„„Type A,B
OTM048112
„„Type C
ODN8A049031C
This gauge indicates the current outside
air temperature by 1°C (1°F).
Temperature range: 40°C ~ 60°C (-40°F ~ 140°F )
Note that the temperature indicated
on the LCD display may not change
as quickly as the outside temperature
(there may be a slight delay before the
temperature changes.)
You can change the temperature unit
from °C to °F or °F to °C in the User
Settings mode in the cluster:
- Go to User Settings Mode → Other →
Temperature Unit.
For vehicles equipped with Automatic
Climate Control, you can also: - Press and hold the AUTO and OFF buttons on the climate control unit for 3 seconds
Both the temperature unit on the cluster
LCD display and climate control screen will change.

Odometer
„„Type A, B

„„Type C
ODN8A049037C
„„Type D
OCN7040015
The odometer indicates the total
distance that the vehicle has been
driven and should be used to determine
when periodic maintenance should be
performed. Range
„„Type A, B
OPD046138
„„Type C
ODN8A049033C
„„Type D
OCN7040016
• The range is the estimated distance
the vehicle can be driven with the
remaining fuel.
• If the estimated distance is below
1 km (1 mi.), the trip computer will
display "----" as range.

04
4-9
Information
• If the vehicle is not on level ground or
the battery power has been interrupted, the range function may not operate
correctly.
• The range may differ from the actual driving distance as it is only an estimate
of the available driving range for the vehicle and driving conditions.
• The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 6 liters (1.6
gallon) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
• The range may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and condition of the vehicle.
