Mechanical Instrument Cluster

The mechanical instrument cluster (MIC) operates independently with the exception of three functions controlled by the body controller. These functions are:

Seat Belt Warning Lamp - The body controller turns on the seat belt warning lamp for approximately six seconds when the ignition is turned on.

Low Fuel Warning Lamp - The body controller turns on the low fuel lamp when the fuel level drops to approximately 2.8 gallons including tank reserve.

Check Gauges Lamp - The body controller turns on the "CHECK GAGES" lamp when the engine controller issues a high temperature warning or a charging system failure via the CCD bus system.
