Fuel Gauge; Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge - Toyota 2006 Hilux Mk6 Owner's Manual

Fuel gauge

16i005
The gauge indicates the approximate
quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
when the ignition switch is on.
Nearly full—Needle at "F"
Nearly empty—Needle at "E"
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.
If the fuel level approaches "E" or the low
fuel level warning light comes on, fill the
fuel tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the movement
of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge needle
may fluctuate or the low fuel level warning
light may come on earlier than usual.

Engine coolant temperature
gauge
16i006
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:
D
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
D
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
D
Idling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop- and- go traffic.
NOTICE
z 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.
z Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. See "If your ve-
hicle overheats" on page 118.
