SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
-The speedometer indicates
the
car's
forward speed in miles per
hour
(mph
).
The
odom-
eter, located below
the
speed
ometer, shows the total accu-
mulated
mileage.
FUEL
GAUGE-The
fuel gauge
indicates the
approximate
level
of gasoline
in
the tank.
The pointer
operates only
when
the ignition switch
key
is
turned
to the ACC
position
,
or to
t he
ON
position.
The fuel
gauge
will read
F,
meaning
full,
when the fuel tank contains its maximum
capacity
of about
14
gallons.
TEMPERATURE
GAUGE-The temperature gauge
indicates
the operating temperature
of
t he coolant in the engine's
cooling
system.
Occasionally, continual stop-and-go
driving,
high-speed
driving
in warm weather,
hill climbing,
or pushing another
car may cause the gauge
pointer
to
swing closer than
normal
to the
H
mark.
However,
if the pointer swings
all
the way to
H
and remains at
that position
while
driving,
you
should stop and
have the engine
cooling system checked.
See pages 22
and
38 for
details about
the
engine's
cooling
system.
OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR
-
The
oil pressure indicator light
will
glow red
the
moment you turn the ignition switch on.
As soon as the engine
is
running, the indicator
light
should
go off,
indicating
the engine is operating
with normal
oil
pressure.
Trouble
is
not
necessarily
indicated
should
the oil pressure
indicator
glow momentarily as you
complete a
sudden
stop.
This is normal.
However,
if
the
indicator
light remains
on while
driving,
stop
the engine immediately and
have
the
engine
lubrication
system checked
.
GENERATOR INDICATOR
-When
driving,
the generator red
indicator
light is
normally off, which
indicates
the generator
is
supplying the proper charge to the
battery.
There
is no
cause
for
concern
should
the generator
indicator
glow or
flicker occasionally while the engine is idling. However, if
the indicator light
remains
on while driving, the generator
and
electrical
system
should
be
checked as soon as
possible.
