Fuel Gauge

This shows how much fuel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount. The needle
returns to the bottom after you turn
off the ignition.
Avoid driving with an extremely low
f uel level. Running out of f uel could
cause the engine to misf ire, damaging
the catalytic converter.

Temperature Gauge

This shows the temperature of the
engine's coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise
from the bottom white mark to about
the middle of the gauge. In severe
driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill
driving, the pointer may rise to near
the upper white mark. If it reaches
the red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the
side of the road. Turn to page 214
instructions and precautions on
checking the engines cooling system.

Check Fuel Cap Indicator

(Odometer/trip meter message)
If your fuel cap is loose or missing, a
''CHECK FUEL CAP'' message
appears as text in the odometer/trip
meter display after you start the
engine. Turn the engine off and
confirm the fuel cap is installed. If it
is, loosen the cap, then retighten it
until it clicks at least once. When you
restart the engine, the message
for appears again. To clear the message,
press and hold the select/reset knob
until the message is replaced on the
odometer/trip meter display.
If the system still detects a loose or
missing fuel fill cap, the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) comes on.
Turn the engine off, and check or
retighten the fuel fill cap until it
clicks at least once. The MIL goes
out after 3 days of normal driving
once the cap is tightened or replaced.
If it does not go out, have your
dealer inspect the vehicle. For more
information, see page 217 .
