Instrument Cluster
Your instrument cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your
vehicle is running.
You’ll know how fast you’re going, about how much
fuel you have
and many other things you’ll need to know to drive safely and
economically.
Tachometer Cluster
If you have the tachometer cluster, it looks different but will tell you
everything the standard cluster does, with the addition of displaying your
engine’s revolutions per minute (rpm).

Warning Lights andl Indicators
This section 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
go 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 turn the ignition key
just to
let you know they're working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.
Gages can 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 the manual's advice.
