Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the level of fuel
within the fuel tank when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. F
represents full and E represents empty.
The needle in the fuel gauge falls to E
when the ignition switch is turned to the
LOCK position.
Refer to Fuel in chapter 5 for refuelling
instructions.
Note Avoid letting the tank run empty;
this can cause damage to the catalytic
converter.
Diesel engines: if run dry, the fuel system
must be bled. Refer to Diesel fuel lter in
chapter 6.
Refer to Specications in chapter 8, for
fuel tank capacity.
Temperature gauge
The temperature gauge indicates the
temperature of the engine coolant when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position.
Stop-start driving in heavy trafc, driving at
high speed in warm weather, hill climbing
or towing may cause the temperature to
increase. This is normal, and is no cause
for concern.
WARNING
Do not continue driving with the temperature gauge needle in the red area, the
engine is too hot. Continued operation of an overheated engine will result in
severe engine damage. Refer to Engine overheating in chapter 6.
