Instrument Cluster Control
Instrument panel illumination
When the vehicle’s parking lights or headlights are on, press the illumination control switch to adjust the brightness of the instrument panel illumination. When pressing the illumination control switch, the interior switch illumination intensity is also adjusted. You can adjust the brightness of the instrument panel illumination from the User Settings Mode on the cluster display when the ignition switch is on (‘Lights Illumination’). When the vehicle’s parking lights or headlights are on, the interior switch illumination intensity and mood lamps are also adjusted.
If your vehicle is equipped with additional navigation, please refer to the infotainment system manual separately supplied.
WARNING
Never adjust the instrument cluster while driving. This could result in loss of control and lead to an accident that may cause vehicle damage, or lead to serious injury or death.
- The brightness of the instrument panel illumination is displayed.
- When the brightness setting reaches either the minimum or maximum level, a chime will sound.
Gauges and Meters
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and is calibrated in miles per hour (MPH) and/or kilometers per hour (km/h).
Tachometer
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
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
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 vehicle overheats, refer to the “If the Engine Overheats” section in Chapter 8.
WARNING
Never remove the engine coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could cause a severe burn or injury. Wait until the engine is cool before adding coolant to the reservoir.
Fuel gauge
This gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
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 damaging the catalytic converter.
Outside temperature gauge
The outside ambient temperature is displayed in the lower portion of the LCD cluster display. The temperature will read in Fahrenheit or Celsius depending on the units selected in the User Settings menu.
Note that the temperature indicated on the cluster 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 the Settings menu in the cluster or infotainment system screen.
Select:
- Setup – Unit – Temperature Unit – °F/°C (for cluster type)
- Setup – General Settings – Unit – Temperature Unit – °C/°F (for infotainment system screen type)
Both the temperature unit on the cluster display and the infotainment system screen will change.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total distance that the vehicle has been driven and should be used to determine when periodic maintenance is required.

Distance to empty
- The distance to empty is the estimated mileage the vehicle can be driven with the remaining fuel.
- If the estimated distance is below 1 mi. (1 km), the trip computer will display “—” as the distance to empty. When this occurs, the remaining fuel is very low. Refuel the vehicle immediately.
Information
- If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the distance to the empty function may not operate correctly.
- The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as it is an estimate of the available driving distance.
- The Distance to Empty indicator may not change accurately if less than 1.5 gallons of fuel are added to the vehicle.
- The distance to empty may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and the condition of the vehicle.
Fuel economy (for 10.25-inch cluster)
The average fuel economy (1) and instant fuel economy (2) are displayed at the bottom of the cluster.
Automatic reset
To automatically reset the average fuel economy, select “After Ignition” or “After Refueling” from the Settings menu on the infotainment system screen.
Transmission Shift Indicator
The Transmission Shift Indicator is shown in the upper corner of the cluster display to indicate the current gear or Park(P).
