CAUTION
If the engine coolant temperature gauge
needle is in the red range, there is the
possibility of overheating. Drive slowly to
reduce engine load until you can find a safe
place to stop the vehicle and wait for the
engine to cool down.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-36.
NOTE
During normal driving, the engine

coolant temperature stabilizes at 100 °C
(210 °F) or less, and the gauge indicates
a range lower than 100 °C (210 °F).
▼ Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately how
much fuel is remaining in the tank when

ignition switched ON, the brightness of
the instrument panel illumination is
dimmed. However, when the light sensor
detects that the surrounding area is bright
such as when the lights are turned on in
the daytime, the instrument panel
illumination does not dim.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched ON in the

early evening or at dusk, the instrument
panel illumination is dimmed for several
seconds until the light sensor detects the
