FUEL GAUGE
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 which remains
at the last indicated position when the ignition switch is turned
off.
If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low fuel level warning light
comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
See the inner back cover for fuel capacity and recommended
fuel selection.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
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 conditioning on in
stop-and-go traffic.

repairs. (For towing information, see page 139.)
CAUTION:
It is dangerous to continue driving normally when the
brake fluid level is low.
