Ford Probe (1997 year). Manual — part 3
16
If the light flashes briefly while you are driving,
it means that the condition is no longer present.
O/D OFF Light (If equipped)
This light tells you that the overdrive off (O/D
OFF) button on the shift selector has been
pushed. When the light is on, the transaxle will
not shift into overdrive. Depressing the button
on the shift selector again will return the vehicle
to “overdrive on” mode. The transaxle will be in
the “overdrive on” mode when the vehicle is
started even if the O/D OFF mode was selected
when the vehicle was last shut off. Refer to the
Driving
chapter for more information.
If the light does not illuminate when the O/D
OFF button is pressed, or if the light flashes
when you are driving, have your vehicle
serviced at the first opportunity. If this condition
persists, damage could occur to the transaxle.

Gauges
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge displays approximately how
much fuel you have in the fuel tank.
The ignition must be turned off while putting
fuel in the tank in order to get a correct fuel
gauge reading after the ignition is turned on.
17
The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly while
the vehicle is in motion. This is the result of fuel
movement within the tank. You can get a more
accurate reading with the vehicle on smooth,
level ground.
Charging System Gauge
This gauge tells you your battery’s voltage when
you turn your ignition key to ON. When you
start your engine, the pointer should move to
the NORMAL range if you are not operating
any electrical accessories. (If electrical accessories
are operating and the engine is not running, the
pointer may move into the red area).
If the pointer moves into the red area when no
electrical accessories are operating, have the
vehicle’s electrical system checked.
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
The gauge needle should stay in the NORMAL
range (indicating normal engine oil pressure). If
the needle drops below the NORMAL range into
the low range, there is a loss of oil pressure.
If this happens:
1.
Pull off the road as soon as safely possible.
2.
Shut off the engine immediately or severe
engine damage could result.
3.
Check the oil level when the vehicle is on
level ground.
4.
Add only as much oil as the engine needs
before you drive the vehicle again. Do not
overfill the oil reservoir. For more
information, see
Adding engine oil
in the
Index.
18
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the
coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the
gauge indication will not be accurate.
The pointer usually moves from C (cold) into
the NORMAL band as your vehicle warms up.
Under most driving conditions, the pointer
should stay in the NORMAL band. If you are
driving in heavy traffic or on an extended grade
in hot weather, the pointer may reach to the top
of the NORMAL band.
If, under any circumstances, the pointer moves
above the NORMAL band, the engine is
overheating and continued operation may cause
engine damage.
If your engine overheats:
1.
Pull off the road as soon as it is safely
possible.
2.
Shut off the engine immediately or severe
engine damage could result.
3.
Let the engine cool.
4.
Check the coolant level following the
instructions on checking and adding coolant
to your engine. (See
Engine coolant
in the
Index.) If you do not follow these
instructions, you or others could be injured.
For instructions on checking and adding coolant
to your engine, see
Engine coolant
in the Index. If
you do not follow these instructions, you or
others could be injured.

5.
Refer to
Adding Engine Coolant
in the
Maintenance and Care
chapter. Add as much
coolant as your engine needs. If the engine
continues to overheat, have the cooling
system serviced.
Speedometer
The speedometer tells you how many miles
(kilometers) per hour your vehicle is moving.
Odometer
The odometer tells you the total number of miles
(kilometers) your vehicle has been driven.
Trip Odometer
Use the trip odometer to track your mileage.
Simply set the trip odometer to zero by pressing
the reset button.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates approximate engine
revolutions per minute, and is located on the
right-hand side of the instrument cluster. The
tachometer pointer may move slightly when the
key is placed in the ACC or ON position, with
the engine off. This pointer movement is normal,
and will not affect the accuracy of the
tachometer once the engine is running.
