TEMPERATURE GAUGE/
OVERHEAT INDICATOR
LIGHT (for Diesel
Engine Model)
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, this gauge indicates the engine
coolant temperature. Under normal dri-
ving conditions, the indicator should stay
within the normal, acceptable temperature
range between “H” and “C”. If the indi-
cator approaches “H” (or the overheat in-
dicator light (1) (if equipped) comes on),
overheating is indicated. Follow the in-
structions for engine overheating in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section.
IMPORTANT Continuing to drive the ve-
hicle when engine overheating is indicat-
ed can result in severe engine damage.
FUEL GAUGE
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, this gauge gives an approximate
indication of the amount of fuel in the fu-
el tank. “F” stands for full and “E” stands
for empty.
If the indicator gets off the graduation of
“E” (not character “E”), refill the tank as
soon as possible.
If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on,
fill the fuel tank immediately.
The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler
door is located on the left side of the ve-
hicle.
NOTE The activation point of the low fu-
el warning light (1) varies depending on
road conditions (for example, slope or
curve) and driving conditions because of
fuel moving in the tank.

Your vehicle is equipped with a battery
that requires infrequent maintenance. You
will never have to add water. You should,
however, periodically check the battery,
battery terminals and battery hold- down
bracket for corrosion. Remove corrosion
using a stiff brush and ammonia mixed with
water, or baking soda mixed with water.
After removing corrosion, rinse with clean
water.
The test indicator on the top of the bat-
tery provides information on the condi-
tion of the battery.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery
to help prevent discharge.

BATTERY
– Batteries produce flam-
mable hydrogen gas. Keep
flames and sparks away from the bat-
tery or an explosion may occur. Nev-
er smoke when working in the vicini-
ty of the battery.
– When checking or servicing the bat-
tery, disconnect the negative cable.
Be careful not to cause a short circuit
by allowing metal objects to contact
the battery posts and the vehicle at
the same time.
– To avoid harm to yourself or dam-
age to your vehicle or battery, follow
the jump starting instructions in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section of
this manual if it is necessary to jump
start your vehicle.
