INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
120 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

1. Speedometer•Indicates the speed of the car.
2. Fuel Level Gauge •The fuel gauge in the instrument cluster display
indicates the amount of fuel left in the tank.
• The light comes on, together with a chime and the
display of a message in the instrument cluster
display, when the gas tank has 1.5 to 2 gallons (5 to
7 liters) of fuel remaining.
3. Instrument Cluster Display •The vehicle can be equipped with multifunctional
instrument cluster display which offers useful in-
formation to the driver.
• With the ignition in the STOP/OFF position (and
the key removed, for vehicles with mechanical
key), opening/closing of a door will activate the
instrument cluster display for viewing, and display
the total miles or kilometers in the odometer.
4. Engine Coolant Temperature •The temperature gauge in the instrument cluster
display displays the temperature of the engine
coolant and starts providing indications when the
coolant temperature exceeds approximately 122° F. In the normal use of the car, the temperature gauge
can move in different directions based on the use of
the car. The light comes on, together with a chime
and the display of a message in the instrument
cluster display, to indicate an excessive increase in
the temperature of the engine coolant. Stop the
engine and contact you approved automotive
dealer.
5. Tachometer •Indicates the engine RPM.
NOTE: The illumination of the graphics on the instru-
ment cluster may vary according to the version (Mono-
color or Color display).
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II)
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard
diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors
the performance of the emissions, engine, and auto-
matic transmission control systems. When these sys-
tems are operating properly, your vehicle will provide
excellent performance and fuel economy, as well as
engine emissions well within current government regu-
lations.
5
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 121

If any of these systems require service, the OBD II
system will turn on the “Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL).” It will also store diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service technician in making
repairs. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable
and not need towing, see your authorized dealer for
service as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
•Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause
further damage to the emission control system. It
could also affect fuel economy and driveability.
The vehicle must be serviced before any emis-
sions tests can be performed.
• If the MIL is flashing, while the engine is run-
ning, severe catalytic converter damage and
power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is
required.
Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II)
Cybersecurity
Your vehicle is required to have an Onboard Diagnostic
system (OBD II) and a connection port to allow access to
information related to the performance of your emis-
sions controls. Authorized service technicians may need to access this information to assist with the diagnosis
and service of your vehicle and emissions system.
WARNING!
•
ONLY an authorized service technician should
connect equipment to the OBD II connection port
in order to diagnose or service your vehicle.
• If unauthorized equipment is connected to the
OBD II connection port, such as a driver-behavior
tracking device, it may:
• Be possible that vehicle systems, including
safety related systems, could be impaired or a
loss of vehicle control could occur that may
result in an accident involving serious injury or
death.
• Access, or allow others to access, information
stored in your vehicle systems, including per-
sonal information.
For further information, refer to “Privacy Practices” and
“Uconnect CyberSecurity” in “All About Uconnect Ac-
cess” in your Owner ’s Manual Radio Supplement and
“Cybersecurity” in “Multimedia”.

Engine Oil Change Reset
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Change Engine Oil” message
will flash in the instrument cluster display for approxi-
mately 10 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 fluc-
tuate, dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position. To reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the
following procedure.
1. In key-on: press accelerator pedal at 100%, remain inthis condition for more than 30 seconds.
2. After this time, always with accelerator pedal down to 100%, press the brake pedal for at least 7 times.
3. Release the pedals.
4. Key-off and wait for Power latch. NOTE:

start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
