Cruise Indicator: Description
A cruise indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. See Fig 1. However, on vehicles not equipped with the optional speed control system, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit.
The cruise indicator consists of the text "CRUISE" in the lower portion of the odometer VFD unit. The odometer VFD is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The "CRUISE" text appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The cruise indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.
