It only operates when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
NOTE
This light does not go out unless the tank is re-
plenished up to an internal fuel quantity of about
4.0 US gal (15 liters, 3.3 Imp gal).
Promptly put fuel in the tank whenever the low
fuel warning light comes on. If the engine mis-
fired as a result of an empty tank, resulting cat-
alytic converter damage could cause damage
to the turbocharger. „
Temperature gauge
1) Normal operating range
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant temper-
ature when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
The coolant temperature will vary in accordance with
the outside temperature and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately until the
pointer of the temperature gauge reaches near the
middle of the range. Engine operation is optimum with
the engine coolant at this temperature range and high
revving operation when the engine is not warmed up
enough should be avoided.

Speed setting changes downward by 1,000 rpm.y Clockwise (+) for 0.5 second or longer: Speed
setting changes upward by 1,000 rpm.
The speed setting will stop changing if it reaches 0
rpm or the maximum engine speed.

The alarm-level engine speed can be set (in 100 rpm
steps) within a range from 2,000 to 7,500 rpm.
The indicator shows the setting as follows:
Approximately three seconds after you stop turning
the knob, the REV alarm system will automatically en-
ter its next setting mode (step 3 below), in which you
can activate or deactivate the buzzer.
3. Activate or deactivate the buzzer as desired using
the REV setting knob. yTurn the knob clockwise (+) to activate the buzz-
er. The indicator will show “ON”, and the buzzer will
sound three times. With the buzzer activated, en- gine-speed warnings are given by both the REV in-
dicator light and the buzzer.y
Turn the knob counterclockwise (–) to deactivate
the buzzer. The indicator will show “– –”, and the
buzzer will not sound. With the buzzer deactivated,
engine-speed warnings are given only by the REV
indicator light.
Approximately three seconds after you stop turning
the knob, the buzzer will sound once to indicate the
end of the setting procedure. The indicator will return
to showing the outside temperature.
Also, the tachometer needle will return to approxi- mately “0”.
NOTE y The REV alarm system does not operate while
settings are being entered. y The speed-setting mode terminates if 0 rpm is
selected. y The speed-setting mode is canceled if the igni-
tion switch is turned to OFF or the vehicle starts
moving before the setting procedure is finished.y Speed setting is impossible when the vehicle is
moving.y The set engine speed may differ from the engine
speed shown by the tachometer. Use the engine
speed shown by the tachometer as a rough guide.

is now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessary should out-
side. Influences cause the mirror to read inaccurately.
You will know that this has occurred if your compass
begins to read in only limited directions. Should you
encounter this situation, return to step one of the
above procedure and recalibrate the mirror. V
