Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge

WARNING

Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap while the engine is running or hot.

At normal operating temperature, the
needle will remain in the center section.

If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so and switch the
engine off. Determine the cause once the
engine has cooled down.  See Engine
Coolant Check (page 230).

Note: Do not restart the engine until the
cause of overheating has been determined
and resolved.

Tripmeter Reset and Distance to
Empty

 (If Equipped)

Press the button to change between the
tripmeter and distance to empty
information.  Press and hold the button to
reset the tripmeter.

Fuel Gauge

Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.

Switch the ignition on.  The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is
in the fuel tank.  The arrow adjacent to the
fuel pump symbol indicates on which side
of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

The needle should move toward F when
you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points
to E after adding fuel, this indicates your
vehicle needs service soon.

After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal:

•

It may take a short time for the needle
to reach F after leaving the gas station.
This is normal and depends upon the
slope of pavement at the gas station.

•

The fuel amount dispensed into the
tank is a little less or more than the
gauge indicated. This is normal and
depends upon the slope of pavement
at the gas station.

•

If the gas station nozzle shuts off
before the tank is full, try a different
gas pump nozzle.

Low Fuel Reminder

A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel
gauge needle is at 1/16th.
