Tachometer

Indicates engine speed in revolutions per 
minute (RPM) x 1000.

Temperature gauge

If the pointer moves onto the red line and the 
red warning indicator illuminates severe engine 
damage can occur.

If the engine overheats, stop the vehicle as 
soon as safety permits. Switch the engine off 
and allow it to cool down. If the problem 
reoccurs, seek qualified assistance before 
continuing.

Note: If engine temperature rises to the point 
where overheating may occur, there may be a 
noticeable reduction in engine power, and the 
air conditioning may cease operation. This is a 
normal operating strategy to reduce load on 
the engine and assist with cooling.

Fuel gauge

Once the fuel level has dropped to the point 
where the range is approximately 80 km (50 
miles) the low fuel warning indicator will 
illuminate.

As a reminder for the location of the fuel filler, 
there is an arrow next to the fuel pump symbol 
which points to the relevant side of the vehicle.
