amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
The gauge will turn off when the TRIP
RESET switch is not operated for

& Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
s03ad08
1) Normal operating range
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
The coolant temperature will vary in
accordance with the outside temperature
and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately
until the pointer of the temperature gauge
reaches near the middle of the range.
Engine operation is optimum with the
engine coolant at this temperature range
and high revving operation when the
engine is not warmed up enough should
be avoided.
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal
operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.
Refer to “Engine Overheating”
�P490.

Meter settings can be set on the center
information display. For details, perform
