  2. MAIN FEATURES


    1. Combination Meter Assembly


      1. Welcome Performance


        • Welcome performance, which expresses an image that the vehicle is waiting with expectation for the engine to be started, is provided. The welcome performance operates as follows:


          1. When the driver door is opened when the vehicle is parked, the analog speedometer illuminates at maximum luminance (100%).

          2. Then, when the driver door is closed, the analog speedometer pulsates 3 times at medium luminance (50%) then turns off.

            Tech Tips

            If the driver door is opened and closed after 60 seconds have elapsed, the pulsation illumination described above is performed again.

          2. Then, the engine speed marks of the tachometer illuminate.

          3. After the system check is complete, the outside temperature display and the fuel, engine oil temperature and engine coolant temperature gauges illuminate.

          4. When the engine switch is turned off, the speedometer, multi-information display, outside temperature display and the fuel, engine oil temperature and engine coolant temperature gauges turn off.

          5. The needle and engine speed marks of the tachometer turn off in sequence.
