Analog Instrument Panels: Description: Speedometer

The speedometer is located next to the tachometer, just to the right of center in the instrument cluster. The speedometer consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster electronic circuitry and a fixed 210 degree primary outer scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right either from 0-110 MPH (0-180 KM/H). The speedometer has a secondary inner scale on the cluster overlay that provides the equivalent opposite units from the primary scale. A label on the cluster overlay beneath the hub of the speedometer pointer abbreviates the unit of measure for the primary scale in all upper case letters, followed by the unit of measure for the secondary scale in all lower case letters. The speedometer graphics are White (primary scale) and Blue (secondary scale) against a Black field, making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned On, the White graphics appear White and the Blue graphics appear Blue. The Orange gauge needle is internally illuminated. Gauge illumination is provided by replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb holder units located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The speedometer is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
