The instrument cluster is located above the steering column and in the instrument cluster trim panel. The instrument cluster contains the instruments that provide the driver with vehicle performance information. The instrument cluster contains a speedometer, an odometer, a trip odometer, a temperature gage, a fuel gage, and several indicator lamps. For replacement of the indicator lamp bulbs contained in the instrument cluster, refer to Instrument Cluster Bulb Replacement.

The speedometer measures the speed of the vehicle in km/h (mph). It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) on the transaxle output shaft.

The odometer measures in kilometers (miles) the total distance the vehicle has traveled since it was manufactured. It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the VSS on the transaxle output shaft.

The trip odometer measures the distance the vehicle has traveled since the odometer was last reset. It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the VSS on the transaxle output shaft. The trip odometer can be reset to zero at any time so that the driver can record the distance traveled from any starting point.

The fuel gage consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to a sending unit in the fuel tank.

The fuel gage indicates the quantity of fuel in the tank only when the ignition switch is turned to ON or ACC. When the ignition is turned to LOCK or START, the pointer may come to rest at any position.

The temperature gage consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to a temperature sensor that is in contact with the circulating engine coolant.

The temperature gage indicates the temperature of the coolant. Prolonged driving or idling in very hot weather may cause the pointer to move beyond the center of the gage. The engine is overheating if the pointer moves into the red zone at the upper limit of the gage.

The instrument cluster contains indicator lamps that indicate the functioning of certain systems or the existence of potential problems with the operation of the vehicle. The indicator lamps are replaceable. For replacement of the indicator lamps contained in the instrument cluster, refer to Instrument Cluster Bulb Replacement.
