▼Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The white range of the gauge indicates
that the engine coolant temperature is low,
and the red range of the gauge indicates
that the engine coolant temperature is high
and overheating.

CAUTION
If the engine coolant temperature gauge
needle (white) flashes, there is a possibility
of overheating. Drive slowly to reduce
engine load until you can
find a safe place
to stop the vehicle and wait for the engine
to cool down.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-20.
NOTE

Empty
If the low fuel w
arning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
If inconsistency in e ngine performance or
stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as
possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US gal,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-35.
NOTE
After refueling, it may require some time
for the indicator to st abilize. In addition,
the indicator may deviate while driving
