J Temperature gauge
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.
See "In case of emergency" in this manual.
Normal
operating
range
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant temperature when the
ignition switch is in the "ON" position.
The coolant temperature will vary in accordance with the outside temper-
ature and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately until the pointer of the tempera-
ture gauge reaches near the middle of the range. Engine operation is opti-
mum with the engine coolant at this temperature range and high revving
operation when the engine is not warmed up enough should be avoided.

Warning and indicator lights

Several of the warning and indicator lights come on momentarily and
then go out when the ignition switch is initially turned to the "ON" posi-
tion. This permits checking the operation of the bulbs.
Apply the parking brake and turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
The following lights come on:
