Fuel Gauge
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your vehicle is moving or
on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will indicate approximately how much
fuel is left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol
indicates on which side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F when you refuel your vehicle. If the
needle points to E after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle needs
service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle position is normal:
•It may take a short time for the needle to reach F after leaving the gas
station. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the
gas station.
•The fuel amount dispensed into the tank is a little less or more than
the gauge indicated. This is normal and depends upon the slope of
pavement at the gas station.
•If the gas station nozzle shuts off before the tank is full, try a different
gas pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel gauge needle is at 1/16th.
Variations:
Driving type (fuel
economy conditions)Fuel gauge position Distance-to-empty
Highway driving 1/16th35 miles to 80 miles
(56 km to 129 km)
Severe duty driving (trailer
towing, extended idle)1/16th 35 miles (56km)
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Shows the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating
temperature, the needle will remain in the center section. If the needle
enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the engine, switch
the ignition off and determine the cause once the engine has cooled down.
Note:Do not restart the engine until the cause of overheating has been
resolved.
