Your vehicle may be equipped with an instrument cluster

display, which offers useful information to the driver. With

the ignition in the STOP/OFF position, opening/closing of

the total miles (kilometers) in the odometer. Your instru-

ment cluster display is designed to display important

information about your vehicle’s systems and features.

Using a driver interactive display located on the instru-

ment panel, your instrument cluster display can show you

how systems are working and give you warnings when

they aren’t. The steering wheel mounted controls allow

you to scroll through and enter the main menus and

submenus. You can access the specific information you

want and make selections and adjustments.
