Your instrument cluster display is designed to display important information about your vehicle’s systems and features. Using a driver interactive display located on the instrument panel, your instrument 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.
