INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTIONS
1. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant
temperature. Any reading within the normal
range indicates that the engine cooling system
is operating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher
temperature when driving in hot weather, up
mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It
should not be allowed to exceed the upper
limits of the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If 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" and
you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine
off immediately, and call an authorized deal-
ership for service.
PAGE POSITION: 109
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.
You or others could be badly burned by steam
or boiling coolant. You may want to call an
authorized dealership for service if your ve-
hicle overheats. If you decide to look under
the hood yourself, see "Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle". Follow the warnings under the Cooling
System Pressure Cap paragraph.
2. Fuel Door Reminder

mately 2.0 gal (7.8 L) this light will turn

6. Charging System Light
This light shows the status of the elec-
trical charging system. The light
should come on when the ignition
switch is first turned ON and remain on briefly
as a bulb check. If the light stays on or comes
on while driving, turn off some of the vehicle's
non-essential electrical devices or increase en-
gine speed (if at idle). If the charging system
light remains on, it means that the vehicle is
experiencing a problem with the charging sys-
tem. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. See an
authorized dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to "Jump
Starting Procedures" in "What To Do In Emer-
gencies".
7. Airbag Warning Light
This light turns on and remains on
for seven seconds as a bulb check
when the ignition switch is first
turned ON. If the light is not on
during starting, stays on, or turns
on while driving, have the system
inspected by an authorized dealer as soon as
