TEMPERATURE WARNING
LIGHT (Red Color)When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, this light comes on briefly so
you can check that the light is working. If
this light blinks while driving, it means the
engine is running hot. Avoid driving condi-
tions that may lead to actual overheating.
If the light stays on without blinking, then
the engine is overheating. Follow the in-
structions in the “If the Engine Over heats”
of “EMERGENCY SERVICE” section.
Continuing to drive the vehicle when
engine overheating is indicated can
result in severe engine damage.

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.

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