UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 105 between 20 and 80 psi (pounds per square inch). If the pointer remains in the red range, safely bring the vehicle to a complete stop and turn off the engine. DO NOT operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This gauge does not indicate the amount of oil in the engine. The engine oil level must be checked under the hood. Check the level often during severe usage. Oil Pressure Warning Light The red Oil Pressure Warning Light is located in the Oil Pressure Gauge. It will turn on to indicate low engine oil pressure. The light should turn on briefly as a bulb check when the engine is first started. If the light remains on or turns on while driving, safely bring the vehicle to a complete stop and turn off the engine. DO NOT operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected. NOTE: This light does not indicate how much oil is in the engine. The engine oil level must be checked using the procedure shown in section 7. (See page 198 for more information.) Fuel Gauge This gauge shows the amount of fuel in the gas tank. The reaction time of the gauge has been slowed to avoid needle fluctuation during periods of high G force cornering. Voltage Gauge This gauge shows the electrical system voltage. The normal operating voltage is from 12 to 14 volts with the engine running. If the pointer remains at either the high or low ends of the scale, the electrical system should be serviced. 4
