The temperature gauge (3) indicates the
temperature of the engine coolant when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON

Stop-start driving in heavy trafc, driving
at high speed in warm weather or hill

increase. This is normal, and is no cause
for concern.

temperature gauge needle in the red
area; the engine is too hot. Continued
operation of an overheating engine
will result in severe engine damage.
Refer to Engine overheating in
chapter 6.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge (4) indicates the level of
fuel within the fuel tank when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. F
represents full and Erepresents empty.
The needle in the fuel gauge falls to E
when the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position.
Refer to Fuel lling in chapter 5 for
refuelling instructions.
Tachometer
The tachometer (1) indicates the engine
speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
The red zone of the tachometer indicates
critical engine speed.
WARNING
Never operate the vehicle with
the tachometer needle in the red
zone. Continued operation with the
tachometer needle in the red zone
will lead to serious engine damage.
