Pic. 1.9. Appearance of the new Camry instrument cluster
Instrument cluster with optotronic display now available as standard on all models (pic. 1.9). The optotronic display provides excellent visibility due to the use of acrylic plastic for the cover panel and LEDs for illuminating the instrument scales, which have good brightness and high contrast. On models in sports equipment, amber color is adopted for highlighting. The instrument pointer drive has been changed from conventional electromagnetic to stepper motors. This resulted in an increase in compactness and a reduction in weight.
When power is supplied to the instrument cluster from the battery pole, the stepper motor is initialized and set to the zero point of the indicator.
Large diameter dual analog gauges are fitted as standard on all models. Contrasting three-dimensional scales are used. The trip counter and odometer are displayed on the LCD monitor.
