Combination Meter

A: WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHT




1. Brake fluid level warning/parking brake indicator light
This light illuminates when the fluid level in the brake reservoir tank lowers under specified level and/or when parking brake is applied.
2. CHECK ENGINE warning light
This light illuminates when trouble occurs in MFI (Multiple point Fuel Injection) system.
3. Charge indicator light
This light illuminates when trouble occurs in charging system during engine is running.
4. Oil pressure warning light
This light illuminates when the engine oil pressure decreases below 14.7 kPa (0.15 kg/sq.cm, 2.1 psi).
5. AT oil temperature warning light
This light illuminates when the ATF temperature exceeds 150 °C (302 °F).
6. ABS warning light
This light illuminates when trouble occurs in electrical components of ABS (Anti-lock Brake System).
7. AIR BAG system warning light
This light illuminates when trouble occurs in Airbag system.




According to ignition switch position, the warning and indicator lights will come on and/or go off under normal conditions as shown.

B: TELLTALE (GRAPHIC MONITOR)




1. Turn signal indicator light
This light blinks (and turn signal light flashes) when the turn signal switch is turned ON.
2. Seat belt warning light
This light illuminates about 6 seconds after ignition switch turns ON if the drivers' seat belt is not fastened.
3. Headlight beam indicator light
This light illuminates when the headlight is in high-beam position.
4. Door open warning light
This light illuminates when one or more doors and/or rear gate are not fully closed.
5. FWD indicator light
This light illuminates when the center differential locks (with the fuse installed in the center differential locking circuit).
6. Rear defogger indicator light
This light illuminates when the rear defogger switch is turned ON.




According to ignition switch position, the telltales will come on and/or go off under normal conditions as shown.

C: TACHOMETER




The tachometer drive circuit connects to engine revolution detecting circuit in engine control module.

When the engine revolution increases/decreases, the voltage of this circuit also increases/decreases, changing the magnetic force of tachometer drive coil.

Thus, the tachometer hand moves together with engine revolution change.

D: WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE




The water temperature gauge is a cross-coil type.
The water temperature signal is input from thermo gauge installed on the engine.

The resistance of thermo gauge changes according to engine coolant temperature. Therefore, the current input to water temperature gauge also changes according to engine coolant temperature.

Accordingly, gauge hand moves in proportion to the change in magnetic force of coil. When the water temperature is at approx. 70 to 100 °C (158 to 212 °F)[normal operating temperature], the meter hand is stable in the middle of indication range as shown in the graph.

E: FUEL GAUGE




1. GENERAL
The fuel gauge is a resistance type and indicates the fuel level in the tank even when the ignition switch is OFF position.

2200 cc model is equipped with two fuel meter units are installed in the fuel tank, one each at the right and left side. because the fuel tank is divided into main and sub tank area.
