Oil Pressure Gauge - Toyota LAND CRUISER 78 series Owner's Manual

The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature when the ignition switch is
on. The engine operating temperature
will vary with changes in weather and
engine load.
If the needle points to the red zone or
higher, stop your vehicle and allow the
engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
• Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
• Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
• Idling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop-and-go traffic.
• Towing a trailer.
NOTICE
• Do not remove the thermostat in
the engine cooling system as this
may cause the engine to overheat.
The thermostat is designed to con-
trol the flow of coolant to keep the
temperature of the engine within
the specified operating range.
• Do not continue driving with
an
overheated engine. See "If your
vehicle overheats" in Section 4.

The oil pressure gauge indicates engine
oil pressure when the ignition is on.
Check it while driving to make sure
that the needle is in the proper range.
If the oil pressure should stay below the
normal range, pUll off the road to a safe
place and stop the engine immediately.
Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair
shop for assistance.
Oil pressure may not build up when the
oil level is too low. The oil pressure
gauge is not designed to indicate oil level,
and the oil level must be checked using
the level dipstick.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the oil
pressure below the normal range until
the cause is fixed-it may ruin the
engine.
