Description & Operation: Description

The instrument cluster is an electronic, microprocessor controlled unit with liquid crystal display. Speedometer and tachometer readings are displayed both digitally and in bar graph displays. The driver information center is located between speedometer and tachometer.

Information center has analog (bar graph) fuel display and 4 multi-function digital displays. Displays are switch selectable. Display selections include oil pressure or oil temperature, coolant temperature or system voltage, instant or average fuel economy and trip odometer, range or distance traveled on reserve.

A telltale panel on the right of the cluster contains telltale indicators for low fuel, oil temperature, low oil pressure, coolant temperature and low system voltage. To the left of the telltale panel is a function select switch panel containing 4 function select switches, US/METRIC select switch, trip odometer/range reset button and average fuel economy reset button.

When ignition is turned on, instrument panel lights will initially light with full intensity. Then all analog displays cycle full scale and back to normal reading within 2 seconds. Digital readings associated with analog readings also cycle to normal.
