METER / GAUGE SYSTEM DETAILS


  1. FUNCTION


    1. Buzzer Function


      1. The table below shows the warning and reminder functions of the buzzer in the combination meter assembly:

        Item

        • Key Reminder

        • Light Reminder

        • Fuel Sedimenter Warning*1

        • Seat Belt Warning*2

        • Speed Warning*3

        • *1: Models with diesel engine

        • *2: Models with seat belt warning buzzer function

        • *3: Models with speed warning buzzer function

    2. Front Seat Belt Warning System


      1. When the ignition switch is ON, this system detects the condition of the seat belts based on the signals from the driver and front passenger* seat belt buckle switches and the occupant detection sensor.

      2. If the driver and front passenger* seat belt buckle switches are off at this time, the front seat belt warning light will blink.

      3. Occupant Detection Sensor*


        • The occupant detection sensor, which is enclosed in the seat cushion of the front passenger seat, is used to detect whether or not the front passenger seat is occupied.

        • This sensor consists of a construction in which 2 electrode sheets sandwich a spacer. When the occupant is seated, the electrode sheets come in contact with each other through the hole provided in the spacer portion, thus enabling the current to flow.

        • The sensor detects whether or not an occupant is seated in the front passenger seat.


        • *: Models with front passenger side seat belt warning system

  2. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Accessory Meter Assembly


      1. An accessory meter assembly is used, which can show the cruise information display.

      2. A sensor that detects the earth's magnetic field is built inside the inside accessory meter assembly. The compass indicates north as 0° and the forward direction of the vehicle using 8 azimuths.
