I. Warning Lights, Gages .and
l..icdors
This section describes the warning
lights and gages that may be on your
vehicle. The pictures will kelp you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that
something is wrong before it .becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying attention
to your warning lights and- gages could
also save
you. or others,from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may
be or is
a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions..
As you will see in
the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when
you turn the .ignition key just to let
you
know they’re worlting. If you are
familiar with this section, you should
not be alarmed when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be
or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights .work together to let you
know when there’s a problem with your
vehicle. When
one of the warning lights comes
on and stays on when you are driving,
or when one of the gages shows there
may be a problem, check -the section
that tells you what to
do about it. Please
follow the manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs can be costly
- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know. your
-warning lights and gages. They’re a big
help. MPH km/h 7
Your speedometer lets you see your
speed.in.both miles p,er hour (mph) and
kilometers per hour (lun/h)

Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage tells you about how
much fuel you have left, when the
ignition is on. When the indicator nears
E (Empty), you still have a little fuel left,
but yonshould get more soon.
Here arethree things that some owners
ask about. None of these show a
problem
with your fuel gage:
At the gas station, with your ignition
on, the gas pump shuts
off before the
gage reads
F (Full).
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill
up than the 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.
For your fuel tank capacity, see
Service
Station Information
on the last page of
this manual.

Engine Coolant Temperafure
Gage
You have a gage that shows the engine
coolant temperature. If the gage pointer
moves into the red area, your engine is
too hot!
That reading means the same thing as
the warning light. It means that your
engine coolant has overheated. If you
have been operating your vehicle under
normal driving 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 the Index under
Engine Overheating.
