air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back
into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the
“H”, turn the engine off immediately and call an
authorized dealer for service.

display, which offers useful information 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 display for viewing, and display the total
miles or kilometers in the odometer. Your instrument cluster
display is designed to display important information about
your vehicle’s systems and features. Using a driver interac-
tive display located on the instrument panel, your instru-
ment cluster display can show you how systems are working
and give you warnings when they aren’t. The steering wheel
mounted controls allow you to scroll through and enter the
main menus and submenus. You can access the specific
information you want and make selections and adjustments.
