Fuel Gauge
This shows how much fuel you
have. It is most accurate when the
car is on level ground. It may
show slightly more or less than
the actual amount when you are
driving on curvy or hilly roads.

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
the upper white mark. If it
reaches the red (Hot) mark, pull
safely to the side of the road.
