Instruments and Controls

5-15

Here are some situations that can
occur with the fuel gauge. None of
these indicate a problem with the
fuel gauge.

.

At the gas station, the fuel pump
shuts off before the gauge
reads full.

.

It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the fuel gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.

.

The gauge moves a little while
turning a corner or speeding up.

.

The gauge goes back to empty
when the ignition is turned off.

Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge

English

Metric

This gauge shows the engine
coolant temperature. Under normal
driving conditions the gauge will
read 100°C (210°F) or less. If the
gauge pointer is near 125°C
(260°F), the engine is too hot.

It means that the engine coolant has
overheated. If the vehicle has been
operating under normal driving
conditions, pull off the road, stop the
vehicle and turn off the engine as
soon as possible.

See Engine Overheating on
page 10‑20
for more information.

Voltmeter Gauge

When the engine is not running, but
the ignition is on, this gauge shows
the battery's state of charge in
DC volts.

When the engine is running, this
gauge shows the condition of the
charging system. The vehicle's
charging system regulates voltage
based on the state of charge of the
battery. The voltmeter may fluctuate.
This is normal. Readings between
the low and high warning zones
indicate the normal operating range.
