Gauges
FUEL GAUGE
Fuel Gauge
This shows how much fuel you have.
The fuel gauge is fully electronic,
lighting the indicator bars to show
the current fuel level. It is most
accurate when you are driving or
parked on level ground. The
indicated fuel level may vary when
you are driving on curved or hilly
roads.
Instruments and Controls
TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
As a test, all the indicator bars in the
fuel gauge light for several seconds
when you turn the ignition to ON (II).
Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge is fully
electronic. It uses a series of
illuminated indicator bars to show
the engine coolant's temperature
range. Under normal driving
conditions, you will see the bars
illuminate to the display's midpoint.
In more severe driving conditions,
such as very hot weather or climbing
a long hill, the engine may get hot
enough to illuminate the white
indicators on the right side of the
gauge. If the red indicator above the
H comes on, pull safely to the side of
the road. Turn to page 199
instructions and precautions on
checking the engine's cooling
system.
As a test, all the indicator bars in the
temperature gauge illuminate when
you turn the ignition ON (II).
