Instruments (Instrument pack): Description and operation

INSTRUMENT PACK

Indications of vehicle and system status are relayed to the driver by the instruments and warning lamps contained in the fascia mounted instrument pack.

The instrument pack comprises a case, a cowl and a meter lens which are secured together by integral clips. A print panel (printed circuit) is located on the rear of the case. Three electrical connectors from the vehicle wiring locate in recesses in the case and

mate with the print panel. Bulb sockets for warning and illumination lamps are installed through the print panel and located in the case. Colour filters that incorporate appropriately coloured graphics are installed over the warning lamp bulbs. The instruments are installed in the case and secured by screws that also pass through the print panel. The screws and the bulb sockets provide the electrical connections between the print panel and their related components. A reset knob is installed through the cowl and meter lens and connected to the speedometer.
