Instrument Cluster / Carrier: Locations
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
1. TACHOMETER: Indicates the permissible engine revolutions-per-minute for each gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up on the accelerator to prevent engine damage.
2. TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LIGHT: The arrows will flash in unison with the exterior turn signals, when using the multi-function control lever. A chime will sound if the turn signals are left on continuously for 2 miles (3 km) until they are deactivated.
3. HIGH BEAM INDICATOR LIGHT: This light shows that the headlights are on high beam. Pull the multi-function control lever towards the steering wheel to switch the headlights from high to low beam.
4. SPEEDOMETER: Indicates vehicle speed.
5. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING TELLTALE LIGHT: Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
6. 4LO MODE INDICATOR LIGHT: If Equipped This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the 4 LO fourwheel drive mode. The front and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.
7. FOG LIGHT INDICATOR LIGHT: If Equipped This light shows when the front fog lights are on.
8. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT: This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD II which monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. This light will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the ignition key from OFF to ON, have the condition checked promptly. Certain conditions such has a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc. may illuminate the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing. When the engine is running, the Malfunction Indicator Light may flash to alert of serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs.
9. ANTI-LOCK WARNING LIGHT (ABS): If Equipped This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) described elsewhere in this manual. This light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as three seconds. If the light comes back on immediately or comes on during driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required, however, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally provided that the BRAKE warning light is not on. Also, a chime will sound if the light comes back on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefit of Anti-Lock Brakes. The operation of the ABS light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON position. The light should illuminate for approximately four seconds. The light should then turn off unless a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected.
10. CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT: This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. The light should come on for three seconds when the ignition is first turned ON. If the light comes back on immediately or comes on while driving, it means that there is a problem with the charging system problem with the charging system or the battery is low. Also, a chime will sound if the light comes back on.
11. TEMPERATURE GAGE: Indicates engine coolant temperature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the cooling system is operating satisfactorily. The gage pointer will likely indicate a higher temperature (above center scale) when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, in heavy stop and go traffic, or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range. If the pointer rises to the red zone (five chimes will occur), pull over and stop the vehicle. Do not turn the engine off. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioning turned off, until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the engine remains in the high range, turn the engine off and call for service.
12. RESET BUTTON: Press this button to toggle between the odometer and trip odometer display. When in the trip odometer mode, holding the button in resets the trip odometer. Also, pressing the Reset button will clear out any warning messages in the odometer display.
13. ODOMETER/TRIP ODOMETER: A vacuum fluorescent display indicates the total distance the vehicle has been driven. Also, the cluster will display, replacing the odometer/trip odometer, vehicle warning messages such as: door/gate/glass ajar and low washer fluid.
NOTE: If vehicle is equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead console, the warnings door, GATE, GLASS, and LOWASH will be displayed in the EVIC display (not in the instrument cluster).
NOTE: The warnings LOCOOL and GASCAP will always be displayed in the odometer display. U.S. federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. Therefore, if the odometer reading is changed during repair or replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined.
14. CRUISE INDICATOR LIGHT: This indicator lights when the speed control system is turned ON.
15. OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT: Shows low engine oil pressure. The light will come on and remain on when the ignition switch is turned from the OFF to the ON position, and the light will turn off after the engine is started. If the bulb does not come on, have the system checked. If the warning light comes on and remains on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine. DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE CAUSE IS CORRECTED. Also, a single chime will sound.
16. TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT: This light indicates that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing or snow plowing. If this light comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster, with the transmission in N (Neutral) until the light goes off.
17. PART TIME INDICATOR LIGHT: If Equipped This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the PART TIME fourwheel drive high range mode, and the front and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.
18. BRAKE WARNING LIGHT: This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the light comes on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, or there is a low brake fluid level. On vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock brakes (ABS), it may also indicate an ABS malfunction that could lead to reduced braking performance.
WARNING! Driving a vehicle with the BRAKE warning light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance or vehicle stability during braking may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle or will make your vehicle harder to control. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately.
The operation of the BRAKE warning light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON position. The light should illuminate for approximately two seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected. Also, the light will come on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON position.
NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. If the parking brake is off and the light remains on, have the brake system inspected as soon as possible.
19. FULL TIME INDICATOR LIGHT: If Equipped This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the FULL TIME fourwheel drive mode, and employs the inter-axle differential which allows the front and rear wheels to rotate at different speeds.
20. SENTRY KEY/SECURITY ALARM INDICATOR LIGHT:
21. FUEL GAGE: When the ignition key is in the ON position, the pointer will show the level of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. A small arrow indicates the side of the vehicle where the filler cap (gas cap) is located.
22. LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT: When the fuel level reaches approximately 2.3 U.S. Gallons (8.7 Liters) this light will come on and remain on until fuel is added. The Low Fuel Warning Light may turn on and off again, especially during and after hard braking, accelerations, or turns. This occurs due to the shifting of the fuel in the tank. Also, a single chime will sound.
23. AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT: This indicator lights and remains lit for 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition is first turned on. If the light doesn't come on, stays on, or comes on while driving, have the airbag system checked.
24. O/D (OVERDRIVE) OFF INDICATOR LIGHT: This light will illuminate when the O/D OFF button has been selected. The O/D OFF button is located on the gear shift lever.
25. SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHT: When the ignition switch is first turned ON, this light will turn on for 5 to 8 seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the drivers seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver or front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Warning Light will flash or remain on continuously.
26. LIGHT BAR INDICATOR LIGHT: If Equipped This light indicates when the light bar lamps are on.
28. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) WARNING LIGHT: If Equipped This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control System. If a problem is detected while the engine is running, the light will either stay on or flash depending on the nature of the problem. Cycle the ignition key when the vehicle is safely and completely stopped and the gearnd completely stopped and the gear selector is placed in the P (Park) position. The light should turn off. If the light remains on with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable. If the light continues to flash when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated / rough idle, or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing. The light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system checked.
NOTE: Two-footed driving is not recommended. Inadvertently driving with the brake pedal depressed for more than a few seconds when the accelerator pedal is held in place can cause the ETC system to assume that a stuck accelerator pedal has occurred. This will result in a loss of power. Returning the brake pedal to its normal position or moving the accelerator pedal will cancel this condition. If the depressed brake pedal and the constant accelerator pedal position are maintained for an extended period of time, the ETC warning light will begin to flash and continue until the ignition switch is cycled in the same manner as above.
30. ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP) WARNING LIGHT/BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM (BAS) WARNING LIGHT: If Equipped The ESP/BAS warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The light should go out with the engine running. If the ESP/ BAS warning light comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system. If this light stays illuminated, have the ESP and BAS checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
31. ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP) INDICATOR LIGHT/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) INDICATOR LIGHT: If Equipped If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle as possible. While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions, and do not switch off the ESP, or TCS if equipped. The indicator light will flash when the ESP or TCS System is active and helping to improve vehicle stability. If the indicator light is on solid, ESP or TCS may not be able to function normally.
