GAUGES

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. Refer to
Engine coolant in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

Trip odometer: Registers the miles
(kilometers) of individual journeys.
Press the button once until TRIP
appears in the display (this
represents the trip mode). To reset
the trip, press and hold the control
again for approximately two
seconds, until the trip reading is 0.0 miles (kilometers). To switch
between trip and odometer, press and release the control.

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

Fuel gauge: Indicates
approximately how much fuel is left
in the fuel tank (when the ignition
is in the on position). The fuel
gauge may vary slightly when the
vehicle is in motion or on a grade.

Proper gauge indication requires the
ignition to be in the off or accessory
position during refueling, otherwise correct fuel indication after refueling
can be slow to update. Also, a minimum of 3 gallons (11 liters) is needed
for correct indication after refueling.

The arrow near the fuel pump icon indicates which side of the vehicle
the fuel filler door is located.

Refer to Filling the tank in the Maintenance and Specifications
chapter for more information.
