Gauges, Meters and Service Reminder Indicators -> Engine coolant temperature gauge for Your Toyota Celica 2 Door Seventh Generation (2000-2006)

’04MY CELICA U (L/O 0308)  
Engine coolant temperature  
gauge  
Fuel gauge  
If the fuel tank is full or the fuel quantity  
has increased or decreased by more than  
5 liters since the vehicle was turned off,  
the position display is recalculated. If the  
fuel quantity has increased or decreased  
by less than 5 liters since the vehicle was  
turned off, the previous position is dis-  
played.  
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 indicates the approximate  
quantity of the fuel remaining in the  
tank when the ignition switch is on.  
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 fuel gauge display flashes or the  
remaining quantity is not displayed after  
the flashing, there may be a problem in  
the system. In this case, contact your  
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.  
Nearly full—Indicator at “F”  
Nearly empty—Indicator at “E”  
If the needle moves to the “H” position  
and flashes, your engine is too hot. If  
your vehicle overheats, stop your vehicle  
and allow the engine to cool.  
It is a good idea to keep the tank over  
1/4 full.  
If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low  
fuel level warning light comes on, fill the  
fuel tank as soon as possible.  
Your vehicle may overheat during severe  
operating conditions, such as:  
D Driving up a long hill on a hot day.  
D Reducing speed or stopping after high  
speed driving.  
D Idling for a long period with the air  
conditioning on in stopandgo traffic.

NOTICE  
If the engine coolant temperature gauge  
needle is not displayed, there may be a  
problem in the system. In this case, con-  
tact your Toyota dealer as soon as pos-  
sible.  
Do not let the indicator needle get  
into the red zone. This may cause  
severe engine damage.  
NOTICE  
z Do not remove the thermostat in  
the engine cooling system as this  
may cause the engine to overheat.  
The thermostat is designed to con-  
trol the flow of coolant to keep the  
temperature of the engine within  
the specified operating range.  
The tachometer indicates engine speed  
in thousands of rpm (revolutions per  
minute). Use it while driving to select  
correct shift points and to prevent en-  
gine lugging and overrevving.  
z Do not continue driving with an  
overheated engine. See “If your  
vehicle overheats” in Section 4.  
Driving with the engine running too fast  
causes excessive engine wear and poor  
fuel economy. Remember, in most cases  
the slower the engine speed, the greater  
the fuel economy.  
2ZZGE engine only—The engine will not  
exceed 7100 rpm before it warms up.
