Instrument Cluster / Carrier: Locations
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
1. Electronic Speed Control Indicator Light - If Equipped This light will illuminate when the electronic speed control is "ON".
2. Low Fuel Indicator Light - When the fuel level drops to 1/8 tank, the fuel symbol will light and a single chime will sound.
3. Front Fog Light Indicator If Equipped This light shows the front fog lights are "ON".
4. Turn Signal Indicators - The arrow will flash with the exterior turn signal when the turn signal lever is operated. If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle has traveled about one mile with the turn signals on, a chime will sound to alert you to turn the signals off. If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective outside light bulb.
5. Speedometer - Indicates vehicle speed.
6. Electronic Vehicle Information Center Display - When the appropriate conditions exist, this display shows the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) messages. (only on vehicles equipped with steering wheel mounted switches).
NOTE: On non-EVIC equipped vehicles the odometer is located here.
7. Tachometer - The red segments indicate the maximum permissible engine revolutions-per-minute (r.p.m. x 1000) for each gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up on the accelerator.
8. Engine Temperature Warning Light - This light illuminates, and will be accompanied by a single chime to warn of an overheated engine condition. The engine temperature is critically hot, and the vehicle should be turned off immediately. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible.
9. Anti-Lock Brake Light This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System - The light will turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position and may stay on for as long as four seconds. If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the "BRAKE" warning light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the Ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, have the light inspected.
10. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Warning Light/Brake Assist System (BAS) Warning Light - If Equipped The yellow ESP/BAS warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position. The light should go out with the engine running. If this light comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system. If the light stays illuminated, have the ESP and BAS checked as soon as possible.
11. Airbag Light - This light turns on and remains on for 6 to 8 seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned "ON". If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected as soon as possible.
12. Brake System Warning Light - This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, there is a low brake fluid level or there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system. The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. Failure of either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
NOTE: The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers which change fluid level conditions. The vehicle should have service performed, and the brake fluid level checked. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary.
WARNING: Driving a vehicle with the brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately. Vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock brakes (ABS), are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required. The operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the "OFF" position to the "ON" position. The light should illuminate for approximately two seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected. The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the "ON" position.
NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.
13. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator Light - If Equipped. If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle as possible. While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions, and do not switch off the ESP, or TCS if equipped.
14. Temperature Gauge - The temperature gauge shows engine coolant temperature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily. The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher temperature when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.
CAUTION: Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge reads (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the "H", and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.
WARNING: A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call a service center if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to look under the hood yourself.
15. Trip Odometer Button Trip Odometer Button - Standard Cluster The word "TRIP" will appear when this button is pressed. Push in and hold the button for two seconds when the trip odometer is displayed to reset it to "0" miles or kilometers. A second press of the button will display the outside temperature in the odometer. Trip Odometer Button Premium Cluster Press this button to change the display from odometer to either of the two trip odometer settings. The letter "A" or "B" will appear when in the trip odometer mode. Push in and hold the button for two seconds to reset the trip odometer to "0" miles or kilometers. The odometer must be in trip mode to reset.
16. High Beam Light - This light shows that the headlights are on high beam. Push the Multi-Function lever away from the steering wheel to switch the headlights to high beam.
17. Transmission Range Indicator - This display indicator shows the automatic transmission gear selection.
18. Seat Belt Reminder Light - When the ignition switch is first turned "ON", this light will turn on for 5 to 8 seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the drivers or front passengers seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the drivers or front passengers seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Warning Light will flash or remain on continuously.
19. Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) Indicator Light - If Equipped. The VTA indicator Light flashes rapidly when the VTA is arming, and slowly when the VTA is armed.
20. Fuel Gauge - The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position.
21. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light - This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control system. If a problem is detected the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the gear selector is placed in the "PARK" position. The light should turn off. If the light remains lit with the engine running your vehicle will usually be drivable, however, have it repaired as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing. The light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system checked.
22. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light - If Equipped Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicles handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the drivers responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
23. Voltage Light - This light monitors the electrical system voltage. The light should turn on momentarily as the engine is started. If the light stays on or turns on while driving, it indicates a problem with the charging system. Immediate service should be obtained.
24. Malfunction Indicator Light - This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. The light will illuminate when the key is in the "ON" position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the key from "OFF" to "ON", have the condition checked promptly. Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc. may illuminate the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing. The Malfunction Indicator Light flashes to alert you to serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs.
25. Oil Pressure Warning Light - This light shows low engine oil pressure. The light should turn on momentarily when the engine is started. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A single chime will sound when this light turns on. Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This light does not show how much oil is in the engine. The engine oil level must be checked. Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected.
