Instrument Cluster Descriptions
1. Speedometer
• The Speedometer shows the vehicle speed in miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Odometer Display / Trip Odometer Display
This display indicates the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
NOTE: U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If your odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair technician should leave the odometer reading the same as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so, then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was before the repair or service. It is a good idea for you to make a record of the odometer reading before the repair/ service, so that you can be sure that it is properly reset, or that the door jamb sticker is accurate if the odometer must be reset at zero.
2. Tachometer
• This gauge measures engine revolutions per minute (RPM x 1000). Before the pointer reaches the red area, ease up on the accelerator to prevent engine damage.
3. Temperature Gauge
• The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tem-
perature. Any reading within the normal range indi- cates that the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
• The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tem- perature when driving in hot weather or up mountain grades. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer for service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to look under the hood yourself, see “Maintaining Your Ve- hicle”. Follow the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could dam- age your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H”, turn the engine off immediately and call an authorized dealer for service.

NOTE: Some of the above warnings will be displayed in the instrument cluster display area located in the instru- ment cluster. Refer to ”Instrument Cluster Display” in this section for further information.
LoW tirE
When the appropriate condition exists, the odometer dis- play will toggle between “LoW” and “tirE” for three cycles.
gASCAP
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a “gASCAP” message will display in the odometer display area. Tighten the fuel filler cap properly and push the STEP button on the steering wheel to turn off the message. If the problem continues, the message will appear the next time the vehicle is started.
noFUSE
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the Igni- tion Off Draw (IOD) fuse is improperly installed, or damaged, a “noFUSE” message will display in the odom- eter display area. Refer to “Fuses” in “In Case Of Emer- gency” for further information on fuses and fuse locations.
CHAngE OIL
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indi- cator system. The odometer display will toggle between “CHAngE” and “Oil” for approximately 12 seconds, after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle-based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon your personal driving style.
5. Fuel Gauge
• The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position
• The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the
vehicle where the fuel door is located.
