INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS

1. Speedometer
   • Indicates vehicle speed.
2. Instrument Cluster Display
   • The instrument cluster display shows messages when the appropriate conditions exist. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in this chapter for further infor-mation.
3. Tachometer
   • Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM x 1000).
4. Temperature Gauge
   • The temperature gauge shows the engine coolant temperature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
   • The gauge 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.
     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, refer to the warning under “Cooling System Pressure Cap” in “Servicing And Maintenance” for further information.
     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.
5. 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 symbol points to the side of the vehicle where the fuel door is located.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
Your vehicle may be equipped with an instrument cluster display, which offers useful information to the driver. With the ignition in the OFF position, opening/closing of a door will activate the display for viewing, and display the total miles (kilometers) in the odometer. Your instrument cluster display is designed to display important information about your vehicle’s systems and features. Using a driver interactive display located on the instrument panel, your instrument cluster display can show you how systems are working and give you warnings when they aren’t. The steering wheel-mounted controls allow you to scroll through and enter the main menus and submenus. You can access the specific information you want and make selections and adjustments.

CHANGE ENGINE OIL INDICATOR SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an Engine Oil Change Indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message will flash in the instrument cluster display for approximately 10 seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The Engine Oil Change Indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate, depending upon your personal driving style. Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time the ignition is cycled to the ON or RUN position. To reset the Oil Change Indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the following procedure.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (do not start the engine).
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
