When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is “ON”, this
gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-
perature. Under normal driving conditions,
the indicator should stay within the normal,
acceptable temperature range between
“H” and “C”. If the indicator approaches
“H”, overheating is indicated. Follow the
instructions for engine overheating in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section.
Brightness Control

When the ignition switch is turned to the

pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”, the instrument cluster lights come
on.
Your vehicle has a system to automatically
dim the brightness of the instrument panel
lights when the position lights or headlights
are on.
When the position lights and/or headlights
are ON, you can control the meter illumina-
tion intensity.
To increase the brightness of the instru-
ment panel lights, turn the brightness con-
trol knob (1) clockwise.
To reduce the brightness of the instrument
panel lights, turn the brightness control
knob (1) counterclockwise.
NOTE:
• If you do not turn the knob within several
seconds while activating the brightness
control, the brightness control display
will be canceled automatically.
• When you reconnect the battery, the
brightness of the instrument panel lights
will be reinitialized. Readjust the bright-
ness according to your preference.
The information display is shown when the
ignition switch is in the “ON” position or the
ignition mode is “ON”.
