l
SLS off road mode warning lamp.
l

The fourth warning lamp pack is located underneath the tachometer of the instrument pack contains the following
warning lamps:
l

l
Alternator charge warning lamp.
l
HDC fault warning lamp.
l
Self Levelling Suspension (SLS) warning lamp.
l
Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE) warning lamp.
l
Gearbox manual/sport mode warning lamps.
The serial communication link is used to allow information to travel to and from the instrument pack, and it provides
the ability to configure the instrument pack to a specific market. It also allows the instrument pack to be controlled by
TestBook for diagnostics.
There are five market specific variants of the instrument pack:
l
United Kingdom (UK).
l
North American Specification (NAS).
l
Canada.
l
Australia.
l
Rest Of the World (ROW), Gulf and Japan.
The main difference between the five markets is that the speedometer will indicate road speed in mph as major figures
and km/h as minor figures, km/h as major figures and mph as minor figures or km/h only.
When TestBook is used to diagnose the instrument pack it demands each of the dials and warning lamps to operate
in-turn so a visual check of their operation can be made.
CAUTION: The instrument pack must not be stored on its face side at any time. This is because the dials have
damping fluid within them to ensure smooth operation of the dials' indicator needles. This fluid will leak out.
Speedometer
The speedometer informs the driver of the current vehicle road speed. It has a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to show
odometer, trip meter and, on automatic gearbox models, the selected gear. The speedometer will not show speeds
of less than 1.5 mph (2.5 km/h).
There are three different market configurations:
l
NAS and UK = mph as major figures km/h as minor figures.
l
Canada = km/h as major figures mph as minor figures.
l
ROW and Australia = km/h only.
The Self Levelling and Anti-Lock Brake System (SLABS) ECU provides the signal input for the road speed. The signal
is at 8000 pulses per mile (1.6 kilometres).
