Instrument Cluster Digital Displays
Five electronic digital displays show cumulative odometer, trip odometer, time, outside ambient air temperature, and, if equipped, automatic transmission range or gear. The transmission display shows P, R, N or D under normal driving conditions. The clock is also located in the base of the tachometer. A knob between the tachometer and the speedometer resets the digital clock.
The trip odometer (1) can be reset at anytime. The odometer (1) display also shows the distance remaining to the next regular maintenance service as calculated by the FSS. Pressing the dial to the left (3) of the speedometer resets the trip odometer. One press is used if the ignition switch is in the "RUN" position, two presses with the ignition switch in other positions or with the key removed. The trip and cumulative odometer displays are also used to show engine oil level.
The outside ambient air temperature digital display adapts to outside ambient air temperature in steps depending on the following driving conditions; stop and go traffic, constant speed driving, and the level of temperature change. During idling or slow driving, the temperature reading may be affected by road or engine heat because the sensor is located in the lower portion of the front fascia. The outside ambient air temperature sensor is not a scientific weather tool for calculating the exact outside temperature. The outside ambient air temperature sensor does not take into account the relative humidity or the current wind chill. Therefore, there may be a difference in temperature readings and actual current outside temperatures.
