Gauges are illuminated by LEDs that are soldered onto the CCN electronic circuit board. Cluster illumination is accomplished by dimmable LEDs soldered onto the CCN electronic circuit, which illuminate each of the gauges for visibility when the exterior lighting is turned ON. The gauges and LED units are not available for service replacement, and if damaged or inoperative, the entire CCN must be replaced.
ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE
An engine coolant temperature gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The engine coolant temperature gauge is located in the upper right center quadrant of the instrument cluster, next to the fuel gauge. The gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right from C (or Cold) to H (or Hot) for gasoline engines. An International Control and Display Symbol icon for Engine Coolant Temperature is located on the cluster overlay, directly below the left end of the gauge scale.
The engine coolant temperature gauge graphics are white against a black field except for a single red graduation at the high end of the gauge scale making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the white gauge graphics appear amber on the low line and white on the high line, while the red graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by Light Emitting Diode (LED) units located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
FUEL GAUGE
A fuel gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This gauge is located in the upper center quadrant of the instrument cluster, left of the temperature gauge. This gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right from E (or Empty) to F (or Full).
An International Control and Display Symbol icon for Fuel is located on the cluster overlay, directly below the gauge scale. An arrowhead pointed to the left side of the vehicle is imprinted on the cluster overlay next to the Fuel icon on the gauge to provide the driver with a reminder as to the location of the fuel filler access. On vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, text that specifies DIESEL ONLY is located across the fuel gauge below the gauge scale, but above the hub of the gauge needle.
The fuel gauge graphics are white against a black field except for a single red graduation at the low end of the gauge scale making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the gauge graphics appear amber for low line models and white for high line models while the red graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by an Light Emitting Diode (LED) located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
An oil pressure gauge is standard equipment on all SLT instrument clusters with a gasoline or diesel engine. This gauge is located in the lower center quadrant of the speedometer. On Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) models the oil pressure gauge is located above the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), just left of center. This gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right from L (or Low) to H (or High).
An International Control and Display Symbol icon for Engine Oil is located on the cluster overlay, on ST instrument clusters and on the gauge face directly below the gauge scale on SLT instrument clusters. The oil pressure gauge graphics are white against a black field except for a single red graduation at the low end of the gauge scale making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the white graphics appear white and the red graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by Light Emitting Diode (LED) units located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
POWER GAUGE
A power gauge is standard equipment on all high line HEV instrument clusters. This gauge is located in the lower portion of the tachometer below the gauge needle. This gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right from ECO to PWR.
The power gauge graphics are white against a black field except for a green and white scale used to show the economy and power range of the vehicle, making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the white graphics appear white and the green graphics still appear green. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
SPEEDOMETER
A speedometer is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The speedometer is located next to the tachometer, just to the right of center in the instrument cluster. The speedometer consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 210 degree primary scale on the gauge dial face.
The speedometer reads left-to-right either from 0 to 120 mph, or from 0 to 200 km/h, depending upon the market for which the vehicle is manufactured. Each version also has a secondary inner scale on the gauge dial face that provides the equivalent opposite units from the primary scale. Text appearing on the cluster overlay just below the hub of the speedometer needle abbreviates the unit of measure for the primary scale (either mph or km/h), followed by the unit of measure for the secondary scale.
The speedometer graphics are white (primary scale) and gray (secondary scale) against a black field making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting, the primary scale graphics appear white and the secondary scale graphics appear light gray. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by Light Emitting Diode (LED) units located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
TACHOMETER
A tachometer is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The tachometer is located to the left of the speedometer, just to the left of center in the instrument cluster. The tachometer consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 210 degree scale on the gauge dial face. The tachometer reads left-to-right from 0 to 7. The text RPM X 1000 is imprinted on the cluster overlay directly below the hub of the tachometer needle. This text identifies that each number on the tachometer scale is to be multiplied by 1000 rpm.
The tachometer graphics are white against a black field making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting, the scale graphics appear white and the red graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) unit located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
VOLTAGE GAUGE
A voltage gauge is standard equipment on all high line instrument clusters. This gauge is located in the lower portion of the tachometer below the gauge needle. This gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right from L (or Low) to H (or High) and an International Control and Display Symbol icon for Battery Charging Condition is located within the gauge itself directly below the gauge scale. On low line models the symbol is near the left edge of the instrument cluster, on the cluster overlay next to the tachometer.
The voltage gauge graphics are white against a black field except for a single red graduation at each end of the gauge scale making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the white graphics appear white and the red graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
