Gauges
NOTE:
Some of the items depicted in
the dash drawing are not used
depending on floorplans and
equipment options.
1. FUEL:
The fuel gauge will register
approximate fuel tank level when
the ignition switch is in the run
position.
NOTE:
Fuel mileage varies with driving
style and road conditions. Always
average more than one tank of fuel
to obtain a more accurate figure.
The diesel generator and the
optional Aqua-Hot system both use
fuel from the main tank and will
affect fuel mileage figures. Diesel
generators and Aqua-Hot will not
operate below ¼ tank to ensure
there is enough fuel to run the
engine.
2. TRANS TEMP:
Shows approximate temperature of the
transmission
fl
uid.
DO NOT
let the

the engine at 1200 to 1500 RPM and
allow transmission
fl
uid temperature to
return to normal.
