Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge

WARNING

Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap while the engine is running or hot.
Steam and scalding liquids released

from a hot cooling system can cause burns.

At normal operating temperature, the
needle will remain in the center section.

If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop the engine,
switch the ignition off and determine the
cause once the engine has cooled down.
See Engine Coolant Check (page 198).

Note: Do not restart the engine until the
cause of overheating has been resolved.

Fuel Gauge

Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much remains
in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may vary
slightly when your vehicle is moving or on
a gradient. The arrow adjacent to the fuel
pump symbol indicates on which side of
the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

Low Fuel Level Reminder

Vehicles with Trip Computer

A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty
reaches 75 mi (120 km) to empty for
MyKey, and at 50 mi (80 km), 25 mi
(40 km), 10 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km)
for all vehicle keys.

Vehicles without Trip Computer

A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the fuel gauge needle is at
1/16th.

Note: The low fuel warning and
distance-to-empty warning can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.

WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS

The following warning lamps and
indicators will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some
lamps will illuminate when you start your
vehicle to make sure they work. If any
lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,
refer to the respective system warning
lamp for further information.

Note: Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and function the
same as a warning lamp but do not display
when you start your vehicle.

If it fails to illuminate when you
start your vehicle, continues to
flash or remains on, it indicates

a malfunction. Have the system checked

malfunction. You will continue

to have the normal braking system
(without ABS) unless the brake system
