Features of your vehicle WARNING - Fuel gauge Running out of fuel can expose vehicle occupants to danger. You must stop and obtain additional fuel as soon as possible after the warning light comes on or when the gauge indicator comes close to the E level. OLM049058 CAUTION Avoid driving with a extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the catalytic converter. OLM049059 Fuel gauge The fuel gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. The fuel tank capacity is given in section 8. The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will illuminate when the fuel tank is near empty. On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel warning light may come on earlier than usual due to the movement of fuel in the tank. The bottom segment will flash as the fuel level approaching empty. Trip computer The trip computer is a microcomputercontrolled driver information system that displays information related to driving, including odometer, tripmeter, distance to empty, average fuel consumption, average speed, driving time on the display when the ignition switch is in the ON position. All stored driving information (except odometer and distance to empty) is reset if the battery is disconnected. 4 36
