Indicates engine oil pressure in PSI. Consult your engine Operation and
Maintenance Manual for normal operating pressures.
CAUTION
IN THE EVENT NO PRESSURE IS INDICATED WHEN ENGINE
IS RUNNING, TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO "OFF" POSITION AND

CORRECTED.
Transmission Oil Temperature Gauge
If excessive temperature (above 250 degrees) is indicated by the transmis-
sion oil temperature gauge, stop vehicle and shift to neutral. Accelerate the en-
gine to 1200 - 1500 RPM. The temperature should return to normal (within 2 -
3 minutes) before the vehicle resumes operation.
The transmission temperature gauge will usually indicate low tempera-
tures. It may rise slightly in congested traffic, under heavy load, or in hilly ter-
rain. Warning buzzer indicates high (above 250 degrees) temperature. See
transmission booklet for normal operating temperatures and further precau-
tions.
CAUTION
DO NOT OPERATE VEHICLE WHEN INDICATOR REMAINS IN
HIGH TEMPERATURE RANGE. TO CONTINUE TO DO SO MAY
CAUSE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION DAMAGE.
Voltmeter Gauge
The voltmeter gauge indicates the amount of voltage that the alternator is
producing for the battery. Pointer will normally show a slight charge of 13-14
volts under highway cruise conditions. Should pointer remain in a continuous
discharge position of 12.5 volts or less, system malfunction requiring immedi-
ate attention is indicated.
