INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS
1. Tachometer

The red segments indicate the maximum permissible

engine revolutions per minute (RPM x 1000) for each gear

range. Ease up on the accelerator before reaching the red

area. The transition of the red line starts 500 RPM prior to

the actual redline. 6.2L SC redline = 6250 RPM and 6.4L

redline = 6400 RPM.
2. High Beam Indicator

This indicator will turn on when the high beam

headlights are on. Push the multifunction lever

away from the steering wheel to switch the headlights to

high beam.
3. Brake Warning Light

This light monitors various brake functions,

including brake fluid level and parking brake

application. If the brake light turns on, it may

indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake

fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the

anti-lock brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been

disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the

master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake

hydraulic system malfunction. In this case, the light will

remain on until the condition has been corrected.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac-

ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic

system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is

indicated by the Brake Warning Light which will turn on

when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has

dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
