Listed are  four  situations  you  may  experience  with  your  fuel gage: 
At the  gas  station,  the  fuel  pump  shuts off before  the gage reads  full. 
It takes  a  little more  or  less  fuel  to fill up than  the  fuel  gage  indicated. 
For  example,  the gage  may  have  indicated  the  tank 
was half  full,  but  it 
actually  took  a  little more  or  less  than  half  the  tank’s  capacity  to 
fill the 
tank. 
The  gage  moves  a  little  when  you  turn  a  corner  or  speed  up. \
The  gage  doesn’t  go  back  to empty  when  you  turn off the  ignition. 
None 
of these  indicate a ,problem  with  the  fuel  gage. 
For  information  on  how to 
fill your fuel tank see “Fuel-Filling  Your  Tank”  in 
the  Index. 
For  your  fuel  tank  capacity,  see  “Fuel-Tank  Capacity” 
in the  Index. 
Engine Coolant Temperature  Gage 
260 
This  gage  shows  the  engine  coolant  temperature. If the  gage  pointer  moves 
into  the  red  area,  about  260°F 
(145°C) or  more,  your  engine is too  hot!  It 
means  that  your  engine  coolant  has  overheated. 
If you  have  been  operating 
your  vehicle  under  normal  operating  conditions,  you  should  pull \
off the  road, 
stop  your  vehicle  and  turn 
off the  engine  as  soon  as possible. 
Hot Coolant  Can  Burn You Badly! 
In “Problems  on  the Road”,  this  manual  shows  what  to do.  See  “Engine 
Overheating”  in the  Index.
