Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Temperature and Compass Display

temperature and the
compass are displayed
at the front of the
overhead console. The
control switches are
located
on the driver's
side of the display.
Turn the display on or
off by pressing the ON/OFF switch. Display the
temperature in either degrees Fahrenheit (English) or Celsius (metric) by
pressing the US/MET switch.
Before you turn
on the ignition and move the vehicle, the temperature
indicated will be the last outside temperature recorded with the ignition on.
If the outside temperature is
37 "F (3 "C) or lower when you turn on the
ignition, ICE will appear
on the display. It's a caution to the driver that road
conditions may be icy, and that appropriate precautions should be taken.
Gompass Calibration
The compass is self-calibrating, so it does not need to be manually set.
However, when your vehicle is new, the compass may function er\
ratically. If
it does, CAL (Calibration) will appear
on the display. To correct the
problem, drive in a complete
360" circle three times, and the compass will
function normally.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets
you see your speed in
both miles per hour
(mph) and kilometers
per hour
(krdh).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles
(used in the
U.S .) or kilometers (used in Canada).
Tamper Resistant Odometer
___"..." ..
Standard Cluster Tachometer Cluster
Your odometer is tamper resistant. It will show silver lines between\
the
numbers
if someone tries to turn it back.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a new odometer
installed. If the new one can be set
to the mileage total of the old odometer,
then it must be. But if it can't, then it's
set at zero, and a label must be put
on the driver's door to show the old mileage reading when the ne\
w
odometer was installed.

Standard Cluster Tachometer Cluster
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has been driven since
you last set the trip odometer
to zero. Make sure the button is completely
depressed.
To set the trip odometer to zero, completely push the button near the
readout.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Each tachometer has a different limit depending on the powertrain in your
vehicle. The tachometer has three areas: normal operating range, red
warning range, and red danger range.
2-67

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Normal operating range shows your engine speed during normal driving
conditions.
For example, when the needle points to 2, it means the engine is
running at 2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer needle will
vary all the time that the engine is running.
The red warning range tells you that your engine speed is reaching its upper
limits. Don’t drive very long with the tachometer in the red warning range.
If you have a manual transmission, shift to a higher gear as
soon as possible.
If you have an automatic transmission, lift your foot
off of the accelerator
pedal. If you drive for very long with the tachometer in the red danger
range, engine damage will result.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the red range,
or engine damage will occur.
The red danger range tells you that your engine speed is at its upper limits.
You should immediately shift to a higher gear, or lift your foot
off of the
accelerator pedal. If you drive for very long with the tachometer in the red
danger range, engine damage will result.
Warning Lights and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your
vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it
becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement.
Paying attention
to your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you start the engine just to let
you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you should
not be alarmed when this happens.
Gages caa indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you
know when there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the
section that tells you what
to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to
do repairs can be costly - and even dangerous. So please get to
know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help.
