INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTIONS
1. Coolant Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge indicates engine cool-
ant temperature. Any reading within the normal
range indicates that the cooling system is op-
erating satisfactorily. The gauge pointer will
likely indicate a high temperature when driving
in hot weather, up mountain grades, in heavy
traffic, or when towing a trailer. If the pointer
rises to the "H" mark, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. If the Air Conditioning A/C system
is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transaxle into
NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the needle
remains on the "H" mark, turn the engine OFF
immediately and call for service. (Refer to "If
Your Engine Overheats" in Section 6 for more
information).
NOTE:
The gauge pointer will remain near its last
reading when the engine is turned off. It will
return to a true reading when the engine is
restarted.

CAUTION!
Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the
engine running, as you would not be able to
react to the temperature indicator light if the
engine overheats.
2. Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows the level of fuel in the
tank when ignition switch is in the ON position.
3. Fuel Cap Indicator
This symbol indicates the side of
the vehicle where the fuel filler cap
is located.
4. Coolant Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated en-
gine condition. If the light turns on
while driving, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. If the A/C system is on,
turn it off. Also, shift the transaxle into NEU-
TRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature
reading does not return to normal, turn the
engine off immediately and call for service.
(Refer to "If Your Engine Overheats" in Sec-
tion 6 for more information).
NOTE:
As the coolant temperature gauge ap-
proaches H, this indicator will illuminate
and a single chime will sound. Further over-
heating will cause the temperature gauge to
pass H. In this case, the indicator light will
flash continuously and a continuous chime
will sound, until the engine is allowed to
cool.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could dam-
age your vehicle. If the temperature gauge
reads "H," safely pull over and stop the ve-
hicle. Idle the vehicle with the A/C turned off
until the pointer drops back into the normal
range. If the pointer remains on the "H," and
you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine
OFF immediately, and call for service.
