Speedometer: Indicates the
current vehicle speed.

Engine coolant temperature
gauge: Indicates engine coolant
temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the needle will be in
the normal range (between “H” and
“C”). If it enters the red section,
the engine is overheating. Stop
the vehicle as soon as safely
possible, switch off the engine
and let the engine cool.

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

Odometer: Registers the total miles
(kilometers) of the vehicle.

Trip odometer: Registers the miles
(kilometers) of individual journeys.
Press the control once to switch
from the odometer to the trip
odometer. To reset the trip, press
the control again until the trip reading is 0.0 miles.

Tachometer: Indicates the engine
speed in revolutions per minute.
Driving with your tachometer
pointer continuously at the top of

Indicates engine oil pressure. The
needle should stay in the normal
operating range (between “L” and

oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil
level is correct, have your vehicle
checked at your dealership or by a
qualified technician.

Altering the severity of the driving conditions is recommended to lower
the transmission temperature into the normal range.

Red area (over temperature) —
the transmission fluid is overheating.
Stop the vehicle to allow the
temperature to return to normal
range.

If the gauge is operating in the Yellow or Red area, stop the vehicle and
verify the airflow is not restricted such as snow or debris blocking airflow
through the grill. If the gauge continues to show high temperatures, see
your Ford dealer.
