When the vehicle is in the RUN state, the gauge
indicates the electrical system voltage. The
pointer should stay within the normal range if the
battery is charged. If the pointer moves to either
extreme left or right and remains there during
normal driving, the electrical system should be

may be present during an Autostop.

when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position.
The fuel pump symbol points to the
side of the vehicle where the fuel door
is located.

CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage
your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “H,” pull
