INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION

1. Check Gages

This light illuminates when the Voltmeter, Engine
Oil Pressure or Engine Coolant Temperature

gages indicate a reading either too high or too low.
Examine the gages carefully, and follow the instructions
above for each indicated problem.

NOTE:

When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the

Fuel Gage, Voltmeter, Oil Pressure and Engine Coolant
Temperature gages may not show accurate readings.
When the engine is not running, turn the ignition switch
to ON to obtain accurate readings.

2. Voltage Gauge

When the engine is running, the gauge indicates
the electrical system voltage. The pointer should

stay within the normal range if the battery is charged. If

the pointer moves to either extreme left or right and
remains there during normal driving, the electrical sys-
tem should be serviced.

NOTE:

If the gauge pointer moves to either extreme of

the gauge, the “Check Gages” indicator will illuminate
and a single chime will sound. The “Check Gages”
indicator may also illuminate prior to the voltage gauge
moving out of normal range. In either case, see you local
authorized Dealer for system service.

3. Turn Signal Indicators
Lights in instrument cluster flash when outside turn
signals are operating. (See page 166 for more informa-
tion.)

4. Tachometer
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per
minute.
