Combination Meter Assembly (Models with TFT LCD Meter)

1. Opening/Ending Ceremony

   
   

   • When the engine switch is turned on (ACC), engine speed marks of the tachometer light up in an animated sequence and in coordination with this animated display the needles of the speedometer, shift position indicator and tachometer are illuminated.

   • After the engine switch is turned on (IG), the gauges, outside temperature gauge, odo/trip meter around the movable meter ring appear to emerge from the ring in an animated display.

   • As the engine starts up, all the gauges are once again turned off then the tachometer and its needle, speedometer and shift position indicator are illuminated. Next, the gauges, outside temperature gauge, odo/trip meter around the movable meter ring appear in an animated display.

   • When the engine switch is turned off, the speedometer and shift position indicator turn off. If the menu screen mode is selected, the movable meter ring returns to the center position then the speedometer and shift position indicator are turned off.

   • At the same time as the speedometer and shift position indicator turn off, the gauges, outside temperature gauge, odo/trip meter around the movable meter ring appear to hide themselves behind the ring in an animated display.

   • Next, the tachometer needle and tachometer are turned off in sequence.

2. Normal Mode/Menu Mode

   
   

   • The combination meter assembly has 2 display modes: normal mode and menu mode.

   • In normal mode, the movable meter ring is positioned at the center and the tachometer, speedometer, shift position indicator and multi-information display are displayed inside of the ring. In addition, the gauges, outside temperature gauge, odo/trip meter are displayed around the ring.

   • In menu mode, the movable meter ring moves with the display to the right and the enlarged multi-information display is displayed at the left.

   • Switching to menu mode is performed using the top switch of the steering pad switch assembly. Returning to normal mode is performed using the top switch again.

4. Vehicle Speed Indicator

   
   

   • The vehicle speed indicator, which informs the driver when a set speed is exceeded, is provided.

   • When the vehicle speed exceeds a set speed, a warning light is illuminated in yellow in the speed unit display area (except models for G.C.C. countries).

     Tech Tips

     The set speed can be changed using the setting function.

   • If the vehicle speed exceeds the predetermined speed*1, a warning light is illuminated in red*2/yellow*3 in the speed unit display area.

     Tech Tips

     *1: The predetermined vehicle speed varies according to the countries and regions. One of the following is set as a predetermined speed.

     
     

     • 120 km/h: Destination packages for Taiwan and South Korea

     • 120.5 +/- 3.5 km/h: Models for G.C.C. countries

     • 200 km/h: Models for Europe and Australia

     *2: Except models for G.C.C. countries

     *3: Models for G.C.C. countries

5. Rev Indicator

   
   

   • When the engine speed exceeds a set level, the rev indicator (yellow ring) is illuminated in the tachometer.

     Tech Tips

     The set level can be changed using the setting function.

   • If the engine speed exceeds 6600 rpm, the rev indicator (red ring) is illuminated in the tachometer.

6. Tachometer Peak Hold Display

   
   

   • The tachometer peak hold display, which displays the afterimage of the tachometer needle at the maximum engine speed, is provided.

   • If the engine speed is changed due to shift change operation, the afterimage of the maximum engine speed is displayed for 0.5 seconds.

   • This function operates when the engine speed is 5000 rpm or more.
