If you want to have some fun reading your battery charge (digital) and coolant Temperature (digital) as you drive check out #5 of
Manual Supplement, Secondary Diagnostics, Sensors, Electronic Automatic AC Explains the Calculations

a. Coolant Temperature.
Coolant Temperature - 16 indicating you are .............Coolant Temperature is 83 deg C or 181.4 deg F
at Coolant Temperature (Now Press Fan)



b. Battery Charge.
A bit more complicated for Battery Charge...................Air is OFF in this case
Battery Charge - 05 (Now Press Fan)..........................197 indicating 14.408 volts


Battery Charge - 05 (Now Press Fan)
at Battery Charge -105 indicating 13.742 volts
Air is ON in this case
