NOTE
This light does not go out unless the tank is
replenished up to an internal fuel quantity of
about 4.0 U.S. gal. (15 liters, 3.3 Imp. gal.).
J Temperature gauge
1) Normal operating range
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tem-
perature when the ignition switch is in the “ON” posi-
tion.
The coolant temperature will vary in accordance
with the outside temperature and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately until the
pointer of the temperature gauge reaches near the
middle of the range. Engine operation is optimum
with the engine coolant at this temperature range
and high revving operation when the engine is not
warmed up enough should be avoided.
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal operating
range, safely stop the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible.
See “In case of emergency” in chapter 9.
J Ambient temperature gauge
(if equipped)
The ambient temperature gauge shows the ambient
temperature in a range from –22
°F to 122°F (–30°C
to 50 °C).
The gauge can give a false reading under any of the
following conditions:
D When there is too much sun.
D During idling; while running at low speeds in a
traffic jam; when the engine is restarted immediately
following a shutdown.
D When the actual ambient temperature falls outside
