2. CONFIGURATION
1) RPM Gauge
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute. Multiply 1,000 to the current
number, then it will be the current number of engine revolutions.
Under the normal engine operating temperature, the proper idling speed is 700 ~ 800 rpm. The
red zone (danger rpm range) starts from 4,500 rpm.
Connect the tachometer for tune-up test and start the engine.
Eliminate the hysteresis by tapping the tachometer.
Compare the values on the tester and tachometer and replace the tachometer if the tolerance
is excessive. 1.

3.
If the tachometer (engine rpm gauge) pointer vibrates or stops moving at a certain range, or
abnormal noises are heard from the tachometer, the tachometer may have a malfunction. If
you have reason to suspect that the reading from the tachometer differs from the actual engine
speed (rpm), connect a diagnostic device and compare the value on tachometer with the
reading from the diagnostic device.

2) Speedometer Gauge
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed by calculating the signals from the rear left and rear
right wheel speed sensors through ABS or ESP unit. (For the vehicle without ABS or ESP, the
signals are received from the EMS)
If the speedometer gauge vibrates, stops at a certain range or makes an abnormal noise, there
could be defectives in speedometer. However, these symptoms also could be occured when th
e
tire has uneven wear, different tire inflation pressures or different tire specifications.
Perform the speedometer test regarding the tolerance as described. However, it is not similar
simple work in field due to lack of measuring conditions such as test equipment and preciseness.
Check the allowable tolerance of the speedometer and operations of the trip odometer by
using a tester.
Check if the speedometer pointer is shaking and the abnormal noise sounds.
Eliminate the hysteresis by tapping the speedometer. 1.

The allowable tolerance increases when the tires are worn or the tire pressure is out of
specified range.

3) Fuel Level Gauge
The fuel level gauge displays the resistance value of the float on the fuel sender in the fuel tank
through a pointer. Note that this vehicle doesn't have a service hole for checking the fuel sender
connector in the fuel tank.
The fuel sender and its connector can be checked and replaced only when the fuel tank is
removed. The power supply and resistance value should be measured at the connector in front of
the fuel sender (refer to wiring diagram).
When the power supply and output resistance are normal, the float operation by fuel level may be
defective; if so, replace the fuel sender.
Low fuel warning lamp comes on when:
The fuel level drops to 9 L or less. The lamp goes off if the fuel level reaches 9.5 L or more.This table shows the tolerance and resistance value changes by fuel level in normal
conditions. Therefore, the differences that can be occurred by the road conditions and fuel
fluctuations are ignored.

4) Coolant Temperature Gauge
The coolant temperature gauge displays the coolant temperature with a pointer. The angle of
pointer that changes by coolant temperature is as shown below.
Measurement of coolant temperature sensor resistance
Measure the resistance between the terminal and the ground with an ohmmeter and replace if the
resistance is out of specified range.

Voltage (V)3.615 1.910 1.259 0.819 0.536
When the resistance value by coolant temperature is within the specified range, check
thermostat, water pump, radiator related coolant circuit for normal operation. Also, check the
wiring harnesses and connectors for proper connection.

OrderMode LCD Display Description
1 TRIP A The maximum distance value that can be displayed is
999.9 km with increments of 0.1 km. The trip meter is
reset to 0.0 km when the value reaches above 999.9
km. When measuring a trip distance, reset the
distance value in the mode you want to use by
pressing the TRIP switch for 1 sec. or more.
2 TRIP B The maximum distance value that can be displayed is
6,213.09 mi with increments of 0.62mi. The trip meter
is reset to 0.0 km when the value reaches above
999.9 km. When measuring a trip distance, reset the
distance value in the mode you want to use by
pressing the TRIP switch for 1 sec. or more.
3 Distance
to emptyThe estimated distance that can be traveled is
calculated based on the current fuel level.
If the DTE is less than 50 km, "---" flashes on the
display.
4 Driving
timeThe driving time from resetting the value (0:00) until
now is displayed. The value displayed is accumulated
while the engine is running even if the vehicle is not
driven. The display range is 00:00 to 99:59. When
measuring the driving time, press the TRIP switch for
1 sec. or more to reset the value.
5 Average
fuel
economyThe average fuel economy from resetting the value (-
-.-) until now is displayed. The value displayed is
accumulated while the engine is running even if the
vehicle is not driven. The display range is 0.0 to 99.9
km/h. When measuring the average fuel economy,
press the TRIP switch for 1 sec. or more to reset the
value. "--.-" is displayed on the screen when
resetting. The value is reset automatically whenever
the vehicle is fuelled.

6 Instant fuel
consumptionThe fuel range is calculated based on the distance
driven and fuel consumed every 2 seconds. If the
vehicle speed is below 10 km/h or the engine rpm
is 200 rpm or less, the instant fuel economy is not
displayed. The display range is 0.0 to 99.9 km/.
7 Brightness
adjustmentThe brightness of the illumination can be adjusted
in 6 steps by pressing the TRIP switch briefly (less
than 1 sec.). The display is changed from ILL1 to
ILL6 every time the switch is pressed. If you select
one level within the range and press and hold the
TRIP switch, the brightness level is memorized. If
there is no TRIP switch input for 5 seconds or
more, the mode is switched to TRIP A mode
automatically. When the battery is reinstalled, the
brightness level is reset to level 4.
