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 the 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. It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the vehicle speed sensor on the transaxle output shaft.

The odometer measures the total distance the vehicle has traveled since it was manufactured. It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the vehicle speed sensor 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 vehicle speed sensor 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 without the ignition switch position.
