per hour and/or kilometers per hour.

When the door is open, or if the engine is

not started within 1 minute, the tachome-

ter pointer may move slightly in ON posi-

tion with the engine OFF. This movement

is normal and will not affect the accuracy

of the tachometer once the engine is run-

ning.

4 34

Features of your vehicle

CAUTION

Do not operate the engine within

the tachometer's RED ZONE.

WARNING

Never remove the radiator cap

when the engine is hot. The engine

coolant is under pressure and

could cause severe burns. Wait

until the engine is cool before

adding coolant to the reservoir.

This may cause severe engine dam-

age.

OLM049057

Engine temperature gauge

This gauge shows the temperature of the

engine coolant when the ignition switch

is ON.

mate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel

tank. The fuel tank capacity is given in sec-

tion 8. The fuel gauge is supplemented by

a low fuel warning light, which will illumi-

nate when the fuel tank is near empty.

The trip computer is a microcomputer-

controlled driver information system that

displays information related to driving,

including odometer, tripmeter, distance

to empty, average fuel consumption,

average speed, driving time and ECO

ON/OFF mode (if equipped) on the dis-

play 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.

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.

are still on, this indicates a situation that

needs attention. When releasing the

parking brake, the brake system warning

light should go off. The fuel warning light

will stay on if the fuel level is low.

This light also comes on when the

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is

not working properly. If the AIR BAG

warning light does not come on, or con-

tinuously remains on after operating for

about 6 seconds when you turned the

ignition switch to the ON position or start-

ed the engine, or if it comes on while

driving, have the SRS inspected by an
