If you do not follow these instructions, you or others could be injured. If the coolant continues to overheat, have the coolant system serviced as soon as possible. Overhead Console Warnings If your Continental is equipped with the Pressure Alert System, a warning will appear in the overhead console when the pressure in one of your vehicle's tires drops below acceptable levels or if the system has malfunctioned. Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge displays approximately how much fuel you have in the fuel tank. The ignition switch must be in the OFF position while filling the tank with at least three gallons (I I liters) for the fuel gauge to indicate the new level. If the ignition is left ON or less than 3 gallons (I 1 liters) of fuel are added the fuel gauge will not immediately indicate the new fuel level. The gauge will gradually correct itself to indicate the true fuel level. LOW TIRE PRESSURE See Securities in the Features chapter for more information. 67
