GAUGES, METERS AND WARNING LIGHTS
24
FUEL GAUGE
Low fuel level warning light
The gauge is displayed when the ignition switch is on and
indicates the approximate quantity of fuel remaining in the
tank.
It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full.
This fuel gauge has a non-return type needle. Therefore, the
needle will remain at the indicated fuel level position
regardless of the position of the ignition switch.
If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low fuel level warning light
comes on, the fuel tank should be filled as soon as possible.
Otherwise it may cause engine misfire and damage to the
catalytic converter.
See the inside back cover for fuel capacity and recommended
fuel selection.
ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Overheating
Normal range
The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when
the ignition switch is on. The engine operating
temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine
load.
If the needle points to the red zone or higher, stop your vehicle
and allow the engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions,
such as:

Driving up a long hill on a hot day.

Reducing speed or stopping after high speed driving.

Idling for a long period with the air conditioner on in
stop-and-go traffic.

Towing a trailer.

Lugging the engine by driving slowly in a high gear.
