engine is running hot. Avoid driving condi-
tions that may lead to actual overheating.
If the light stays on without blinking, then

FUEL GAUGEWhen the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, this gauge gives an approximate
indication of the amount of fuel in the fuel
tank. “F” stands for full and “E” stands for
empty.
When the fuel meter indicator shows only
one segment to “E”, refill the tank as soon
as possible.Note:
If the last segment blinks, it means that the
fuel tank is almost empty.
Note:
The fuel level indicator varies depending on
road conditions (for example, slope or
curve) and driving conditions because of
fuel moving in the tank.

These changes are normal, the system is
designed so that the compressor turns on
or off to maintain the desired temperature.
Less operation of the compressor results in
better fuel economy.

parking brake on: rear brake
effectiveness can be reduced from
over heating, brake life may be
shortened, or permanent brake
damage may result.

brake lever all the way up.
To release the parking brake, hold the brake
pedal down, pull up slightly on the parking
brake lever, push the button on the end of
