The instrument cluster and center console
illumi nat ion (gauges and need les) comes
on when you switch on the ignition and the
vehicle headlights are off . Be aware of the
following diffe rence betwee n mode ls built
to US or Canadian specific ations:
- USA models: illumination of the instru-
ment cluster (gauges and needles),
dash and center console around the
gearshift lever is controlled by a light
sensor located in the instrument panel.
The instrument panel illumination will
automatically become dimmer as the
daylight fades away and eventually will
go out completely when outside light is
very low. This is to remind you, the driv-
er, to switch on the headlight s before it
gets too dark.
- Canada models: instrument panel illu-
mination will stay bright regardless of
the intensity of ambient light. Always
be aware of changes in outside light
conditions while you are driving. Re-
spond in time to fading daylight by
turning the light switch to position
iD
(or ,;AUTO" if your car is equipped wit h
this feat ure)
to turn on your headlights .
Tachometer (engine rev counter)
The tachometer indicates the engine RPM
(revolutions per minutes).
The tachometer CD c> page 10, fig. 3 is the left
one of the two large clock-type displays.
The eng ine turns at a speed
1 000 times the
single digit in the display, e.g . if the needle
points at the "2", the engine t urns at
2000RPM.
