Fuel gauge
Type A
OJF045105B
Type B
OJF045105L
This gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank.
NOTICE
• The fuel tank capacity is given in
Recommended lubricants and ca‐
pacities on page 10-11.
• The fuel gauge is supplemented by
a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.
• On inclines or curves, the fuel
gauge pointer may fluctuate or
the low fuel warning light may
come on earlier than usual due to
the movement of fuel in the tank.
WARNING
n Fuel Gauge
Running out of fuel can expose vehi‐
cle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain additional
fuel as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the
0 or E (Empty) level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire damag‐
ing the catalytic converter.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature
of the engine coolant when the engine
is running.
NOTICE
When the gauge indicator gets out
of the normal range, toward the H
position, it indicates overheating of
the engine. It may damage the en‐
gine.
Do not continue driving with the
overheated engine. For further in‐
formation, refer to If the engine
overheats on page 8-07.
