Cruise Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
Cruise Control Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A cruise indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not equipped with the optional speed control system, this
indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located within the fixed segment Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display unit.
The cruise indicator consists of the text CRUISE in the upper right corner of the OLED display. The fixed segment OLED display unit is soldered onto
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the speedometer
gauge dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the OLED prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The cruise indicator
text appears in a white color and at the same lighting level as the odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the fixed segment OLED is illuminated at full brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are
ON), the OLED lighting level is adjusted with the other cluster illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer function of the interior lighting control
sleeve on the left multi-function switch control stalk. However, a PARADE mode position of the control sleeve allows the OLED to be illuminated at full
brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during daylight hours.
The cruise indicator is serviced as a unit with the fixed segment OLED display unit in the instrument cluster.
