Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and,gages that
may be
on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something
is
wrong before it becomFs 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 come 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 start the
engine just to let you know they’re working.
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 this 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.
Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel
YOU
have left when the ignition
is on. When the indicator
nears
EMPTY (E), you still
have
a little fuel left, but
you should get more soon.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY I
I
Here are some things owners ask about. All these
situations are normal and do not show a problem with
your fuel gage:
0 At the service station, the pump shuts off before the
gage reads
FULL (F).
0 . 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 it.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed up.

Head-Up ,Display (Option)
If you have the Head-Up Display (HUD), you can see
the speedometer reading, in English or metric units,
displayed “through” the windshield.
The HUD
also shows these lights when they are lit on
the instrument panel:
0 Turn Signal Indicators
0 High-Beam Indicator Symbol
Low Fuel Symbol
Oil Warning Symbol
0 Coolant Temperature.Symbo1
Charging System Symbol
I
When you sit straight in your seat, the HUD image will
appear slightly to the right.
When the ignition key is turned to RUN, all possible
HUD images will come on. Then the Head-Up Display
will operate normally.
NOTICE: 1.
Although the HXJD image appears to be near the
front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking aid. The
.HUD was not designed for that purpose. If
you try to use it that way,-such as in,a parking
lot, you may misjudge distance and run into
something.
