Instruments and controls

This light does not go out unless the tank is re-

plenished up to an internal fuel quantity of about

4.0 US gal (15 liters, 3.3 Imp gal).

Promptly put fuel in the tank whenever the low

fuel warning light comes on. If the engine mis-

fired as a result of an empty tank, resulting cat-

alytic converter damage could cause damage

to the turbocharger.

Temperature gauge

A) Normal operating range

The temperature gauge shows engine coolant temper-

ature when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position.

The coolant temperature will vary in accordance with

the outside temperature and driving conditions.

We recommend that you drive moderately until the

pointer of the temperature gauge reaches near the

middle of the range. Engine operation is optimum with

the engine coolant at this temperature range and high

revving operation when the engine is not warmed up

enough should be avoided.
