UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 205 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS 1. Coolant Temperature Gauge The temperature gauge indicates engine coolant temperature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the cooling system is operating satisfactorily. The gauge pointer will likely indicate a high temperature when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, in heavy traffic, or when towing a trailer. If the pointer rises to the "H" mark, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the Air Conditioning A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transaxle into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the needle remains on the "H" mark, turn the engine OFF immediately and call for service. (See page 394 for more information.) NOTE: The gauge pointer will remain near its last reading when the engine is turned off. It will return to a true reading when the engine is restarted. CAUTION! Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running, as you would not be able to react to the temperature indicator light if the engine overheats. 2. Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge shows the level of fuel in the tank when ignition switch is in the ON position. 3. Fuel Cap Indicator This symbol indicates the side of the vehicle where the fuel filler cap is located. 4
