Temperature Gauge

When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is “ON”, this
gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-
perature. Under normal driving conditions,
the indicator should stay within the normal,
acceptable temperature range between
“H” and “C”. If the indicator approaches
“H”, overheating is indicated. Follow the
instructions for engine overheating in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section.
Brightness Control
83RM042
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”, the instrument cluster lights come
on.
Your vehicle has a system to automatically
dim the brightness of the instrument panel
lights when the position lights or headlights
are on.
You can change the brightness of the
instrument panel lights regardless of
whether the position lights or headlights
are off or on.
To increase the brightness of the instru-
ment panel lights, turn the indicator selec-
tor knob (1) clockwise.
To reduce the brightness of the instrument
panel lights, turn the indicator selector
knob (1) counterclockwise.
NOTE:
• If you do not turn the knob within several
seconds of activating the brightness
control, the brightness control display
will be canceled automatically.
• When you reconnect the battery, the
brightness of the instrument panel lights
will be reinitialized. Readjust the bright-
ness according to your preference.
NOTE:
If you select the high brightness level when
the position lights or headlights are on, the
instrument panel lights are not dimmed.
NOTICE
Continuing to drive the vehicle when
engine overheating is indicated can
result in severe engine damage.
