METER: METER / GAUGE SYSTEM: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. METER GAUGE
(a) METER/GAUGE
(b) WARNING/INDICATOR
*1: w/o Navigation System
*2: w/ Navigation System
*3: for U.S.A.
*4: except U.S.A.
*5: w/ Intelligent AFS
*6: w/ Pre-collision System
*7: When the combination meter assembly receives a VSC OFF signal from the skid control ECU, the combination meter assembly controls the SLIP OFF indicator light.
(c) MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY
HINT:
- The multi-information display is located in the center of the combination meter assembly.
- The display shows a message or animation for each of the functions described in the table below.
*1: w/ Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System
(d) ODO/TRIP DISPLAY
2. ILLUMINATION CONTROL
HINT:
If the engine switch on (IG), the illumination control operates as follows. However, all illuminations other than the tachometer needle turn off while cranking the engine.
(a) The speedometer and tachometer needles illuminate when turn the engine switch on (IG).
(b) These needles move to their maximum position and return to zero.
(c) The fuel gauge and water temperature gauge light up, then the warning lights, indicator lights, multi-information display, and meter panel illumination come on.
3. MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY
*1: for Automatic Transmission
*2: w/ Clearance Sonar System
*3: w/ Intelligent AFS
*4: w/ Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System
*5: for 4WD
4. INTEGRATION CONTROL AND PANEL ASSEMBLY (w/o NAVIGATION SYSTEM)/MULTI-DISPLAY (w/ NAVIGATION SYSTEM)
HINT:
- Integration control and panel assembly (*1) consists of two parts (passenger information display and heater control panel). These areas display the contents given in the table below.
- Multi-display (*2) consists of four parts (navigation display, passenger information display, clock display, and heater control panel). These areas display the contents given in the table below.
*1: w/o Navigation System
*2: w/ Navigation System
5. MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY FLOW-CHART
(a) Each warning indication for English
HINT:
Illustrations may differ from the actual screen displayed depending on the specifications of the vehicle.
(b) Each warning indication for French
HINT:
Illustrations may differ from the actual screen displayed depending on the specifications of the vehicle.
6. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) for English
(b) for French
(c) The combination meter assembly indicates the diagnosis mode by blinking the warning light or by blinking the warning message in the multi-information display.
HINT:
- The multi-information display shows "DIAG" when the engine switch is on (IG) Diagnosis System.
- Diagnosis information can be displayed on the multi-information display after connecting a jumper wire between TC (J21-13) and CG (J21-4) of the DLC3 connector.
7. SATELLITE SWITCH
(a) By using satellite switch (RH switch, ON/OFF switch, LH switch), 6 different switch functions can be displayed and changed (SPEED indicator, TACH indicator, Tire pressure (*1), Sonar (*2), AFS (*3), Auto power retractable mirror (*4)).
HINT:
- *1: with Tire Pressure Warning System
- *2: with Clearance Sonar System
- *3: with Intelligent AFS
- *4: w/ Power Mirror Control System w/ Memory
- When the engine switch on (IG) while driving at 3 mph (5 km/h) or less, the switch except for SONAR can be displayed.
- The switch functions displayed are changed in the order shown in the illustration using the satellite switch (RH switch, LH switch). The function can be set using the ON/OFF switch.
- The display automatically returns to the previous display 6 seconds after the satellite switch is operated. It will return to the previous display immediately if the DISP switch is operated.
(b) SPEED and TACH indicator
- The SPEED indicator and TACH indicator come on when the vehicle speed or engine speed reaches the speed set using the satellite switch. The setting ranges of these indicators are shown in the table that follows.
- Vehicle speed or engine speed can be set using the satellite switch.
- These indicators consist of yellow and red dots that are arranged to form indicator rings.
- When the set vehicle speed or engine speed is reached while driving, the red and yellow dots will turn on at the same time to cause amber light to illuminate the indicator ring.
- However, if the vehicle or engine speed is set to the maximum speed of the indicator setting range, and the speed reaches this set speed, only red light will illuminate the indicator ring.
