Gauges Temperature Gauge This shows the temperature of the engine's coolant. During normal operation, the pointer should rise from the bottom white mark to about the middle of the gauge. In severe driving conditions, such as very hot weather or a long period of uphill driving, the pointer may rise to the upper white mark. If it reaches the red " H " (Hot) mark, pull safely to the side of the road. Turn to page 219 for instructions and precautions on checking the engine's cooling system. Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It is most accurate when the car is on level ground. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount when you are driving on curvy or hilly roads. The gauge stays at the same fuel level reading after you turn off the ignition. When you add fuel, the gauge slowly changes to the new reading after you turn the ignition back ON (II). Maintenance Required Indicator INDICATOR SLOT The indicator reminds you when it is time for scheduled maintenance. When it nears 12,000 km (7,500 miles) since the last maintenance, the indicator will turn yellow. If you exceed 12,000 km (7,500 miles), the indicator will turn red. Your dealer will reset the indicator when he performs the scheduled maintenance. If someone else performs the maintenance, reset the indicator by inserting your key in the slot below the indicator.
