Main Menu Table Of Contents Gauges Odometer The odometer shows the total distance your vehicle has been driven. It measures miles in U.S. models and kilometers in Canadian models. It is illegal under U.S. federal law and Canadian provincial regulations to disconnect, reset, or alter the odometer with the intent to change the number of miles or kilometers indicated. Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount. Temperature Gauge This shows the temperature of the engine's coolant. During normal operation, the reading should be in the middle of the gauge. In severe driving conditions, such as very hot weather or a long period of uphill driving, the reading may reach near the red mark. If it reaches the red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the side of the road. See page 322 for instructions and precautions on checking the engine's cooling system. Outside Temperature Indicator Instruments and Controls OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR If equipped This indicator displays the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S. models) or Centigrade (Canadian models). Avoid driving with an extremely low f uel level. Running out of f uel could cause the engine to misf ire, damaging the catalytic converter. CONTINUED 69 2008 CR- V
