Gauges
Fuel Gauge
This shows how much fuel you
have. It is most accurate when the
car is on level ground. It may show
slightly more or less than the actual
amount when you are driving on
curvy or hilly roads.
The gauge stays at the same fuel
level reading after you turn off the
ignition. When you add fuel, the
gauge slowly changes to the new
reading after you turn the ignition
back ON (II).
Temperature Gauge
This shows the temperature of the
engine's coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise
from the bottom white mark to
about the middle of the gauge. In
severe driving conditions, such as
very hot weather or a long period
of uphill driving, the pointer may
rise to the upper white mark. If it
reaches the red (Hot) mark, pull
safely to the side of the road. Turn
