The fuel gauge indicator may vary
slightly when the vehicle is in
motion. The most accurate reading
is obtained with the vehicle on
level ground.
With ignition switch OFF, the fuel
gage indicator may drift from the
ignition switch ON position.
Refer theIgnitioninformation in
theControls and featureschapter
for more information on the
positions of the ignition.
Charging system gauge
If the pointer moves and stays
outside of the normal range, have
the vehicle's electrical system
checked as soon as safely possible.
Engine oil pressure gauge
Indicates the engine oil pressure in
the system. Sufficient pressure
exists as long as the needle is in
the normal range. If the gauge
constantly indicates low pressure
at normal engine speed, refer to
Checking and adding engine oil
in theMaintenance and care
chapter.
If the gauge indicates a low
pressure and the engine oil level is
correct, switch off the engine
immediately and have the vehicle

Important safety precautions
Do not overfill the fuel
tank. The pressure in an
overfilled tank may cause
leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire.
If you do not use the
proper fuel cap, the
pressure in the fuel tank can
damage the fuel system or cause
it to work improperly in a
collision.
The fuel system may be
under pressure. If the fuel
cap is venting vapor or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until it
stops before completely
removing the cap.
Automotive fuels can
cause serious injury or
death if misused or mishandled.
Observe the following guidelines
when handling automotive fuel:
²Extinguish all smoking materials
and any open flames before
fueling your vehicle.
²Always turn off the vehicle
before fueling.
²Automotive fuels can be harmful
or fatal if swallowed. If fuel is
swallowed, call a physician
immediately, even if no
symptoms are immediately
Maintenance and care
189

Cleaning the wheels
Wash the wheels with the same
detergent you use to clean the
body of your vehicle. Do not use
acid-based wheel cleaners, steel
wool, fuel or strong detergents.
Never use abrasives that will
damage the finish of special wheel
surfaces. Use a tar remover to
remove grease and tar.
Cleaning the engine
Engines are more efficient when
they are clean because grease and
dirt buildup act as insulators and
keep the engine warmer than
normal. Follow these guidelines to
clean your engine:
²Take care when using a power
washer to clean the engine. The
high pressure fluid could
penetrate the sealed parts and
cause damage.
²Do not spray with cold water to
avoid cracking the engine block.
