OPERATION
Fuel gauge
l
When the ignition key is at the “ON” position,
the fuel gauge is activated.
l
When there is much fuel, the unit’s
resistance is small and the current flowing
in the circuit is great, so the gauge’s
indicator indicates in the area.
l
When there is little fuel, the unit’s resistance
is high and the current flowing in the circuit
is small, so the gauge’s indicator indicates
in the “E” area.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
l
When the ignition key is at the “ON” position,
the engine coolant temperature gauge is
activated.
l
When the engine coolant temperature is
high, the unit’s resistance is low and there
is a great flow of current in the circuit, so
the gauge’s indicator indicates in the
area.
