DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
The LCD shows odometer readings up to 99999.9 miles or kilometres and trip computer readings up to 999.9 miles 
or kilometres. A trip counter reset button is located at the bottom of the speedometer and resets the counter to zero 
when pressed for more than two seconds. A short press will change the LCD display from odometer to trip.

The odometer uses the same CAN messages as the speedometer to calculate the distance travelled. If the CAN 
message fails, the LCD will display the odometer distance and 'Error' alternately for one second each.

The LCD also displays gearbox status information as shown in the following table:

Tachometer
The tachometer is electronically operated and is driven by CAN messages from the ECM. The ECM output is derived 
from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor. Loss of the CAN message will cause the tachometer to read zero until the 
engine speed message is restored.

Petrol models have a maximum tachometer scale reading of 8000 rev/min.

The tachometer scale has a red segment which denotes the maximum engine speed for the model. The engine must 
not be operated beyond the start of the red segment. The maximum engine speed for the KV6 is 6500 rev/min.

Three warning lamps are located in the lower part of the tachometer face; Cruise control, Malfunction Indicator Lamp 
(MIL) and handbrake and brake warning lamp.
