Instrument Cluster Control
Instrument panel illumination
When the vehicle’s parking lights or headlights are on, press the illumination control switch to adjust the brightness of the instrument panel illumination.
When pressing the illumination control switch, the interior switch illumination intensity is also adjusted.
WARNING
Never adjust the instrument cluster while driving. This could result in loss of control and lead to an accident that may cause death, serious injury, or vehicle damage.
- The brightness of the instrument panel illumination is displayed.
- When the brightness setting reaches either the minimum or maximum level, a chime sounds.
Gauges and Meters
Speedometer
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the approximate number of engine revolutions per minute (RPM).
Use the tachometer to select the correct shift points and to prevent lugging and/or over-revving the engine.
NOTICE
Do not operate the engine within the tachometer’s RED ZONE to prevent severe engine damage.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant when the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
NOTICE
If the gauge pointer moves beyond the normal range area toward the H (Hot) position, it indicates overheating that may damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer to the “If the Engine Overheats” section in chapter 8.
WARNING
Never remove the engine coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and may cause burn or injury. Wait until the engine is cool before adding coolant to the reservoir.
Fuel gauge
Information
- The fuel tank capacity is given in chapter 2.
- The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, that illuminates when the fuel tank is nearly empty.
- On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel warning light may come on earlier than usual due to the movement of fuel in the tank.
WARNING
Running out of fuel can expose vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain additional fuel as soon as possible after the warning light comes on or when the gauge indicator comes close to the “E (Empty)” level.
NOTICE
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel may cause the engine to misfire and cause damage to the catalytic converter.
Outside temperature gauge
The outside ambient temperature appears in the lower portion of the cluster display. The temperature reads in Fahrenheit or Celsius depending on the units selected from the Settings menu in the infotainment system.
The temperature indicated on the instrument cluster may not change as quickly as the outside temperature.
Select:
- Setup > General > Units > Temperature Unit > °F/°C
For vehicles equipped with Automatic Climate Control, you can also:
- Press the AUTO button for 3 seconds, and then within 5 seconds press the driver’s side mode (air flow) selection for more than 3 seconds.
Both the temperature unit on the instrument cluster and climate control information screen is changed.
NOTICE
The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information, refer to the manual provided in the infotainment system and the quick reference guide.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total distance that the vehicle has been driven and is used to determine when periodic maintenance should be performed.
Distance to empty
- The distance to empty is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining fuel.
- If the estimated distance is below 1 mi.(1 km), the trip computer displays “—” as the distance to empty. When this occurs, refuel the vehicle immediately.
- The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 2.4 gallon (9 liters) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
Information
- The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance because it is only an estimate of the available driving distance.
- The distance to empty may differ significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and condition of the vehicle.
- If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the distance to empty function may not operate correctly.
- The distance to empty indicator may not change accurately if less than 2.4 gallon (9 liters) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
Transmission Shift Indicator
Automatic transmission shift indicator
The automatic transmission shift indicator in the upper corner of the cluster display indicates the current gear or P (Park).
