Range
: 21.26 to 30.86 inHg or 720 to 1045 hp a
NOTE The reading may change during air-conditioner operation,
door window operation, driving in a tunnel, and so forth. All barometric readings reported in local weather reports are
corrected to a sea-level reading regardless of altitude. The Gauge
Pack displays true local air pressure and hence may differ signifi-cantly from local weather reports (especially at higher altitudes).The barometer is not adjustable. Since air pressure changes with altitude, the barometric read-
ing will vary when the vehicle is moving up or down an incline.For accurate barometric trending, the vehicle should be station-
ary. Altimeter
The altimeter has two mod es, Stand ard elevation mod e and Relative
elevation mod e.
