Fuel gauge
E00500700856
The fuel gauge indicates the fuel level in the fuel
tank when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position.
F- Full
E- Empty
CAUTION
l For petrol-powered vehicles, do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level; running
out of fuel could cause damage to the cat-
alytic converter.
l
For diesel-powered vehicles, do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level; running
out of fuel could cause damage to the fuel
system.
NOTE
l When the vehicle has been refuelled, the point-
er in the fuel gauge takes a short while to sta-
bilize.
l The fuel gauge will not give an accurate indi-
cation if the vehicle is refuelled with the igni-
tion switch in the "ON" position.
l When the engine on diesel-powered vehicles
fails to operate due to running out of fuel, it
may sometimes be difficult to start after refu-
eling. This is due to air entering the fuel sys-
tem. Therefore, air must be bled from the sys-
tem. (Refer to "Bleeding the fuel system" on
page 6-06.)
Fuel lid mark
The fuel lid mark (A) indicates that the fuel tank fill-
er door is located on the right side of the vehicle.
Low fuel warning lamp
E00508100595
The warning lamp (A) illuminates when the fuel lev-
el is getting low (approx. 10 litres) with the igni-
tion switch in the "ON" position. Refuel as soon as
possible.
Instruments and controls
NOTE
l
On inclines or curves, due to the movement
of fuel in the tank, the low fuel warning lamp
may indicate incorrectly.
Water temperature gauge
E00500800408
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine
coolant temperature when the ignition switch is in
the "ON" position.
CAUTION
l If the indication needle enters the H zone
while the engine is running, it indicates
that the engine is possibly overheating. Im-
mediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and make the necessary correc-
tions. (Refer to "Engine overheating" on
page 6-04.)
While driving, care should always be tak-
en to maintain the normal operating tem-
perature.
