Door Ajar Warning Indicator - Description

DESCRIPTION

Door, hood, liftgate and liftglass ajar indicators are standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The hood ajar function is active only in vehicles equipped with a hood ajar switch, which is available only in certain markets where it is required equipment. The ajar indications appear within the reconfigurable dot matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display unit. The ajar indicators are capable of displaying numerous combinations of textual messages and icons which appear in place of the compass/trip computer information in the dot matrix display.

The dot matrix OLED is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer 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 ajar indicator textual messages and icons appear in the same white color and at the same lighting level as the compass/trip computer information when they are illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.

The ajar indicators are serviced as a unit with the OLED in the instrument cluster.
