Instruments and controls The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel movement in the tank. B Low fuel warning light The low fuel warning light comes on when the tank is nearly empty (about 2.3 U.S. gal., 9.0 liters, 1.9 Imp. gal.). It only operates when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. J Temperature gauge CAUTION If the pointer exceeds the normal operating range, safely stop the vehicle as soon as possible. See "In case of emergency" in this manual. Normal operating range HS0052 The temperature gauge shows engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. The coolant temperature will vary in accordance with the outside temperature and driving conditions. We recommend that you drive moderately until the pointer of the temperature gauge reaches near the middle of the range. Engine operation is optimum with the engine coolant at this temperature range and high revving operation when the engine is not warmed up enough should be avoided. - CONTINUED - 3-7
