'02 Rav4_U (L/O 0108) Fuel gauge On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual. If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately. The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. The gauge works when the ignition switch is on and indicates the approximate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank. Nearly full-Needle at "F" Nearly empty-Needle at "E" It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full. The needle moves when braking, accelerating or making turns. This is caused by the movement of the fuel in the tank. If the fuel level approaches "E" or the low fuel level warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible. Engine coolant temperature gauge The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is on. The engine operating temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine load. If the needle moves into the red zone, your engine is too hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the engine to cool. 88 2002 MY RAV4_U (OM42503U)
