Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge; Engine Oil Pressure Gauge - Ford 2000 E-150 Owner's Manual

the gauge first indicates empty, there is a small amount of reserve fuel in
the tank. When refueling the vehicle from an empty indication, the
amount of fuel that can be added will be less than the advertised
capacity due to the reserve fuel.

Engine coolant temperature gauge

Indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant. At normal operating
temperature, the needle remains
within the normal area (the area
between the "H" and "C"). If it
enters the red section, the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, switch off
the engine immediately and let the
engine cool. Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and care
chapter.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot.
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the
coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge indication
will not be accurate. If the gauge enters the red section, the oil
pressure/engine coolant and Check Engine/Service Engine Soon
indicators illuminate, refer to What you should know about fail-safe
cooling in the Maintenance and care chapter.

Engine oil pressure gauge

This shows the engine oil pressure
in the system. Sufficient pressure
exists as long as the needle remains
in the normal range (the area
between the "L" and "H").
If the gauge indicates low pressure,
stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible and switch off the engine
immediately. Check the oil level. Add oil if needed (refer to Engine oil
in the Maintenance and care chapter). If the oil level is correct, have
your vehicle checked at your dealership or by a qualified technician.
