Gauges

Temperature Gauge

This shows the temperature of the

engine's coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise

from the bottom white mark to about
the middle of the gauge. In severe

driving conditions, such as very hot

weather or a long period of uphill

driving, the pointer may rise to near

the upper red mark. If it reaches the
red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the

side of the road. Turn to page

for

instructions and precautions on
checking the engine's cooling
system.

Fuel Gauge

This shows how much fuel you have.

It is most accurate when the car is on
level ground. It may show slightly
more or less than the actual amount

when you are driving on curvy or
hilly roads.

The needle returns to the bottom

after you turn off the ignition. The
gauge shows the fuel level reading
immediately after you turn the
ignition switch back ON
