Fuel Gauge
*
[IS09700(ALL)01/96]
The fuel gauge displays approximately how
much fuel is in the fuel tank only when the
ignition switch is ON.
*
[IS09850(ALL)01/96]
For a proper fuel gauge indication after adding
fuel, the ignition switch should be in the OFF
position while the vehicle is being refueled.
*
[IS09900(ALL)01/96]
The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly while
the vehicle is in motion. This is the result of fuel
movement within the tank. An accurate reading
may be obtained with the vehicle on smooth,
level ground.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
*
[IS11201(ALL)02/96]
This gauge indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the
coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the
gauge indication will not be accurate.
*
[IS11301(ALL)05/96]
The pointer moves from the C (cold) mark into
the NORMAL band as the engine coolant warms
up. It is acceptable for the pointer to fluctuate
within the NORMAL band under normal driving
conditions. Under certain driving conditions,
such as heavy stop and go traffic or driving up
hills in hot weather, the pointer may move to
the top of the NORMAL band.
*
[IS11401(ALL)04/96]
If, under any circumstances, the pointer moves
above the NORMAL band, the engine is
overheating and continued operation may cause
engine damage.

NOTE: Be sure to read and understand
Precautions When Servicing Your
Vehicleat the beginning of this chapter.
[MC08725(ALL)05/96]
Your vehicle's engine coolant protects the engine
from overheating in the summer and from
freezing in the winter. Check the level of the
engine coolant at least once a month, but
preferably each time you stop for fuel. Simply
look at the engine coolant recovery reservoir
located in the engine compartment. To locate
this reservoir, see the diagram of your vehicle's
engine underEngine Compartmentin the
Capacities and Specificationschapter.
