Section 16 (Instrument Cluster): Clock: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Sprinter. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

An electronic digital clock is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. In vehicles equipped with the optional ambient temperature indicator, the clock indication can be toggled with the ambient temperature indication on the right side of the multi-function indicator Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) located near the lower edge of the instrument cluster, directly below the speedometer. The clock provides a 12 hour-based, digital indication of the current hours and minutes. The indications of the clock are not visible when the LCD is not illuminated. When illuminated the indications appear as dark characters silhouetted against an amber field. When the exterior lighting is turned Off, the display is illuminated at maximum brightness. When the exterior lighting is turned On the display illumination level can be adjusted in concert with the cluster general illumination lighting using the "+" (plus) and "-" (minus) multi-function indicator push buttons. The clock is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
