Night Panel
| Night Panel |
The SID incorporates a NIGHT PANEL function that extinguishes the instrument and display lighting when activated.
When the NIGHT PANEL button on the SID is pressed, the SID transmits the bus information "NIGHT PANEL ON".
The main instrument unit then switches off the instrument and display lighting.
The tachometer, fuel gauge and temperature gauge needles go to their zero positions when the lighting has been turned off.
Only the speedometer (up to 140 km/h (90 mph)), indicator lamps and warning lamps stay on.
The following gauges/displays return to their normal state under the following circumstances:
| • |
The speedometer's high-speed part of the scale if the speed of the car exceeds 134 km/h (87 mph).
|
|
| • |
Tachometer, if the engine speed is higher than 5400 rpm (manual gearbox), 5900 rpm (automatic transmission).
|
|
| • |
The fuel gauge and temperature gauge if the fuel level in the tank is below 15 litres.
|
|
| • |
Fuel gauge and temperature gauge if the engine temperature is higher than 120°C (248°F) (4-cyl.), 114°C (235°F) (V6).
|
|
| • |
The selector lever display lights up if the selector lever is NOT in position D.
|
|
When the NIGHT PANEL button is pressed for a second time, the SID transmits the bus information "NIGHT PANEL OFF". The main instrument then first returns all meters to normal and then turns on the illumination.
