tions (for example, slope or curve) and
driving conditions because of fuel move-
ment in the tank.
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed.

ing and indicator lights” in this section for

NOTICE
(1)
Never drive the vehicle with the
engine revving in the red zone or

zone even when downshifting to a
lower gear position.
Refer to “Downshifting maximum
allowable speeds” in “OPERATING
YOUR VEHICLE” section.
EXAMPLE
52RM20470
When the ignition switch is in “ON” posi-
tion, this gauge gives a rough indication of
the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. “F”
stands for full and “E” stands for empty.
If the fuel meter indicator shows only one
segment to “E”, refill the tank as soon as
possible.
NOTE:
If the last segment blinks, it means that the
fuel is almost empty.
If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on,
refill the fuel tank immediately.
