Backup/Deck Lights Switch The instrument panel consists of a RH & LH control/ indicator panel (RH & LH pods), a center display panel (gauge and monitor module, with speedome- ter/tachometer module, transmission range indicator, service/hour meter, and odometer), and a row of con- trol switches across the bottom of the panel.
The gauge and monitor module and speedometer module each have a microcomputer to process and display the signals from the sensors. Liquid crystal is used for the display area. The monitors and gauges inside the monitor module and speedometer module are actuated by the signal from the gauge and monitor module, and the odome- ter is actuated by signals from the speedometer mod- ule. The following pages will identify each element of the instrument panel and detail its function and purpose for the operator.
