Reconfigurable Instrument Cluster
The cluster display layout can be changed.
There are four selectable views:
- Clean: Displays no information zones.
- Info: Displays one information zone under the speedometer.
- Infotainment: Displays one information zone under the speedometer.
Gauge: Displays no information zones and the gauges are located to the left and right of the speedometer.
Use the right steering wheel control to open and scroll through the different items and displays.
To change the cluster configuration and the gauge faces, press and hold the thumbwheel and use
on the right steering wheel control. Press the thumbwheel on the right steering wheel control to select the desired option from the list.
The following conditional gauges may be displayed while in a particular driver mode:
- Engine Oil Temperature
- Engine Oil Pressure
- Voltmeter
- Transmission Temperature
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle speed in either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the vehicle has been driven, in either kilometers or miles.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer shows how far the vehicle has been driven since the trip odometer was last reset.
The trip odometer is accessed and reset through the Vehicle Status.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
The tachometer may vary by several hundred rpm, during Auto Stop mode, when the engine is shutting off and restarting.
Fuel Gauge
When the ignition is on, the fuel gauge indicates about how much fuel is left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel gauge pointing to the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the low fuel light comes on. There still is a little fuel left, but the vehicle should be refueled soon.
The fuel gauge may:
- Take a little more, or less fuel to fill up than it indicates. For example, the gauge may have indicated the tank is half full, but it actually will take a little more, or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill the tank.
- Moves a little while turning a corner, speeding up, or braking.
- Take a few seconds to stabilize after the ignition is turned on and goes back to empty when the ignition is turned off.
These are normal conditions, none of which indicate a problem with the fuel gauge.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature.
If the pointer moves toward the warning area at the high end of the gauge, the engine is too hot.
This reading indicates the same thing as the warning light. It means that the engine coolant has overheated. If the vehicle has been operating under normal driving conditions, pull off the road, stop the vehicle, and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
