mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It
should not be allowed to exceed the upper lim-
its of the normal operating range.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or oth-
ers could be badly burned by steam or boiling cool-
ant. You may want to call an authorized dealer for
service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to look
under the hood yourself, refer to the warnings under
"Cooling System Pressure Cap" in "Servicing And
Maintenance" for further information.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could dam-
age your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads "H,"
pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with
the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on
the "H," turn the engine off immediately and call an
authorized dealer for service.
5. Fuel Gauge
○
The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel
tank when the ignition is in the ON/RUN
position.
○
The fuel pump symbol points to the
side of the vehicle where the fuel
door is located.
Refer to "Refueling The Vehicle —
