INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS
1. Tachometer

The red segments indicate the maximum permissible

engine revolutions per minute (RPM x 1000) for each gear

range. Ease up on the accelerator before reaching the red

area. The transition of the red line starts 500 RPM prior to

the actual redline. 6.2L SC redline = 6250 RPM and 6.4L

redline = 6400 RPM.
2. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of

an onboard diagnostic system called OBD. The

OBD system monitors engine and automatic

transmission control systems. The MIL will turn on when

the ignition is in the ON/RUN position before engine

start. If the MIL does not come on when turning the key

from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked

promptly.

Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap,

poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after

engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the MIL

stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In

most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will

not require towing.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect fuel economy and
driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss will soon occur.
Immediate service is required.
