2.4 Switches, gauges & indicators
Know Your Vehicle
Fuel gauge
Fuel gauge indicates the level of
fuel in tank. It is electrically operated.
Fuel level is indicated on gauge
through a sensing unit mounted on
fuel tank.
Speedometer
It indicates vehicle speed in kmph
and also the distance covered by
vehicle in km. This is driven by a
flexible shaft connected to the
output shaft of gear box. High beam
indicator is also provided on
speedometer dial.
Coolant temperature gauge
Temperature gauge indicates coolant
temperature. It senses coolant
temperature through a transducer
mounted on upper cooling line.
When gauge needle touches red
band on dial it indicates engine over
heating.
If overheating is observed & coolant
level in auxiliary tank found to be
low, stop engine and allow it to cool
down. Top up coolant water mixture
in 1:1 ratio through auxiliary tank
filler neck.
Cylinder head may crack, if coolant
mixture is topped up when engine
is hot.
