Speedometer

Indicates the current vehicle speed.

Engine coolant temperature gauge

Indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant. At normal operating
temperature, the needle remains
within the normal area (the
indicated 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. Steam and scalding liquid from a hot cooling

system can burn you badly.

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.

Odometer

Registers the total kilometers (miles) of the vehicle.
