Gauges Temperature Gauge The temperature gauge is fully electronic. It uses a series of illuminated indicator bars to show the engine coolant's temperature range. Under normal driving conditions, you will see the bars illuminate to the display's midpoint. In more severe driving conditions, such as very hot weather or climbing a long hill, the engine may get hot enough to illuminate the white indicators on the right side of the gauge. If the red indicator above the H comes on, pull safely to the side of the road. Turn to page 199 for instructions and precautions on checking the engine's cooling system. As a test, all the indicator bars in the temperature gauge illuminate when you turn the ignition ON (II). FUEL GAUGE TEMPERATURE GAUGE Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. The fuel gauge is fully electronic, lighting the indicator bars to show the current fuel level. It is most accurate when you are driving or parked on level ground. The indicated fuel level may vary when you are driving on curved or hilly roads. As a test, all the indicator bars in the fuel gauge light for several seconds when you turn the ignition to ON (II).
