Instrument Cluster Refer to Message center in this chapter to select preset colors or user definable colors (MyColor) for the nighttime gauge backlighting. 1. Speedometer: Indicates the current vehicle speed. 2. Fuel gauge: Indicates approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel tank (when the ignition is in the on position). The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion or on a grade. The fuel icon and arrow indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler door is located. 3. Engine coolant temperature gauge: Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating temperature, the needle will be in the normal range (between H and C). If it enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine and let the engine cool. 4. Tachometer: Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute. Driving with your tachometer pointer continuously at the top of the scale may damage the engine. 5. Engine oil pressure gauge (optional V6 and GT cluster only): Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle should stay in the normal operating range (between L and H). If the needle falls below the normal range, stop the vehicle, turn off the engine and check the engine oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle checked at your authorized dealer. Battery voltage gauge (optional V6 and GT cluster only): 6. Indicates the battery voltage when the ignition is in the on position. If the pointer moves and stays outside the normal operating range, have the vehicle's electrical system checked as soon as possible. Odometer and trip odometer: The odometer is displayed in the message center and registers the distance of individual journeys. For trip odometer, refer to Message center in this chapter. MESSAGE CENTER Your vehicle's message center allows you to configure/personalize certain vehicle options to suit your needs. The message center is also capable of monitoring many vehicle systems and will alert you to potential vehicle problems and various conditions with an informational message followed by a long indicator chime. The message center display is located in the instrument cluster. 18 2011 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
