3-12 Instruments and controls To ensure safety, do not attempt to change the function of the indicator during driving, as an accident could result. Fuel gauge NOTE NOTE If the connection between the combination meter and battery is broken for any reason such as vehicle maintenance or fuse replacement, the data recorded on the trip meter will be lost. The tachometer shows the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute. Do not operate the engine with the pointer of the tachometer in the red zone. In this range, fuel injection will be cut by the engine control module to protect the engine from overrevving. The engine will resume running normally after the engine speed is reduced below the red zone. 1 1) Low fuel warning light Tachometer 300619 The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the tank. The gauge does not return to “E” even though the ignition switch is in the “ACC” or “LOCK” position. The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel level movement in the tank. You will see the “FUEL DOOR ” sign near the fuel gauge. This indicates that the fuel filler door (lid) is located on the right side of the vehicle. Low fuel warning light The low fuel warning light comes on when the tank is nearly empty [approximately 2.3 US gal (9.0 liters, 1.9 Imp gal]. It only operates when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. 300121 NOTE This light does not go out unless the tank is replenished up to an internal fuel quantity of approximately 4.0 US gal (15 liters, 3.3 Imp gal).
