Engine Coolant TemperatureGauge
Shows the temperature of the enginecoolant. At normal operating temperature,the needle will remain in the center section.If the needle enters the red section, theengine is overheating. Stop the engine,switch the ignition off and determine thecause once the engine has cooled down.
Note:Do not restart the engine until thecause of overheating has been resolved.
WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoircap while the engine is running or hot.
Fuel Gauge
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightlywhen your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge willindicate approximately how much fuel isleft in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent tothe fuel pump symbol indicates on whichside of your vehicle the fuel filler door islocated.
The needle should move toward F whenyou refuel your vehicle. If the needle pointsto E after adding fuel, this indicates yourvehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needleposition is normal:
•It may take a short time for the needleto reach F after leaving the gas station.This is normal and depends upon theslope of pavement at the gas station.
•The fuel amount dispensed into thetank is a little less or more than thegauge indicated. This is normal anddepends upon the slope of pavementat the gas station.
•If the gas station nozzle shuts offbefore the tank is full, try a differentgas pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuelgauge needle is at 1/16th.

•XXX mi (km) to empty: Shows the approximate distance the vehicle will travel.
•Fuel gauge: Indicates approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel tank. The fuelgauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion or on a grade. When the fuellevel becomes low, the level indicator will change to amber. When the fuel levelbecomes critically low, the level indicator will change to red. Note: When a MyKey®is in use, low fuel warnings will display earlier. The fuel icon and arrow indicates whichside of the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
•Round tachometer: Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute. Driving withyour tachometer pointer continuously at the top of the scale may damage the engine.During SelectShift Automatic™ transmission (SST) use, the currently selected gearwill appear in the display.
•Engine coolant temperature gauge: Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normaloperating temperature, the level indicator will be in the normal range. If the enginecoolant temperature exceeds the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safelypossible, switch off the engine and let the engine cool.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNINGS
Failure to follow engine block heaterinstructions could result in propertydamage or serious personal injury.
Do not use your heater withungrounded electrical systems ortwo-pronged adapters. There is a riskof electrical shock.
Note:The heater is most effective whenoutdoor temperatures are below 0°F(-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid bywarming the engine coolant. This allowsthe climate control system to respondquickly. The equipment includes a heaterelement (installed in the engine block) anda wire harness. You can connect thesystem to a grounded 120-volt ACelectrical source.
We recommend that you do the followingfor a safe and correct operation:
•Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cordthat is product certified byUnderwriter’s Laboratory (UL) orCanadian Standards Association(CSA). This extension cord must besuitable for use outdoors, in coldtemperatures, and be clearly markedSuitable for Use with OutdoorAppliances. Do not use an indoorextension cord outdoors. This couldresult in an electric shock or become afire hazard.
•Use as short an extension cord aspossible.
•Do not use multiple extension cords.
•Make sure that when in operation, theextension cord plug and heater cordplug connections are free and clear ofwater. This could cause an electricshock or fire.
•Make sure your vehicle is parked in aclean area, clear of combustibles.
•Make sure the heater, heater cord andextension cord are firmly connected.
•Check for heat anywhere in theelectrical hookup once the system hasbeen operating for approximately 30minutes.
•Make sure the heater system ischecked for proper operation beforewinter.
