GAUGES

Gasoline Engines

E215247

Engine oil pressure gauge.

A

Engine coolant temperature gauge.

B

Transmission fluid temperature gauge.

C

Fuel gauge.

D

Speedometer.

E

Information display.

F

Tachometer.

G

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle
should stay in the normal operating range
(between L and H). If the needle falls
below the normal range, stop the vehicle,
switch off the engine and check the engine
oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is
correct, have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer.

Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge

WARNING

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

Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible, switch off the engine and
let the engine cool.

Transmission Fluid Temperature
Gauge

Indicates transmission fluid temperature.
At normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the
transmission fluid temperature exceeds
the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon
as safely possible and verify the airflow is
not restricted such as snow or debris
blocking airflow through the grille.

Special operating conditions, such as
snowplowing, towing or off-road use, can
cause higher than normal operating
temperatures. See Special Operating
Conditions Scheduled Maintenance
(page 330).

Operating the transmission for extended
periods with the gauge in the higher than
normal area may cause internal
transmission damage. We recommend
altering the severity of the driving
conditions to lower the transmission
temperature into the normal range. If the
gauge continues to show high
temperatures, contact an authorized
dealer.

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
indicates 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.

Gauge Package

(If Equipped)

If your vehicle is equipped with the optional
gauge package, it has some or all of the
following gauges:

•

Transmission temperature gauge:
Displays the transmission fluid
temperature at the transmission sump.

•

Hourmeter: Displays the hours of
engine run time.

•

Voltmeter: Displays electrical system
voltage.

Information Display

Odometer

Located in the bottom of the information
display. Registers the accumulated
distance your vehicle has traveled.

switch off the engine and check the engine
oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is

Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge

WARNING

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

Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible, switch off the engine and
let the engine cool.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Gauge

Indicates the fluid level in the DEF tank.

Fuel Gauge

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