SPEEDOMETER

TRIP METER

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 the

upper white zone. If it reaches the

red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the

side of the road. Turn to page 262 for

instructions and precautions on

checking the engine's cooling

system.

Fuel Gauge

The gauge stays at the same fuel

level reading after you turn off the

ignition. When you add fuel, the

gauge slowly changes to the new

reading after you turn the ignition

switch back ON (II).

This shows how much fuel you have.

It is most accurate when the vehicle

is on level ground. It may show

slightly more or less than the actual

amount when you are driving on

curvy or hilly roads.
