Never allow sparks or open
flames near the filler neck.

Engine temperature gauge
This gauge shows the temperature of the engine coolant when the igni-
tion switch is ON.
Do not continue driving with an over-
heated engine. If your vehicle over-
heats, refer to “Overheating” in the
Index.
✽✽
NOTICE
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the“H” position, it indicates overheat-ing that may damage the engine.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approx- imate amount of fuel remaining in thefuel tank.
Fuel tank capacity - 55 liters.
The fuel gauge is supplemented by a
low fuel warning light, which will illu-
minate when the fuel level has
dropped to about 8.5 liters.
Trip computer (if equipped)

controlled driver information gauge
that displays information related to
driving, such as estimated distance
to empty, average speed and driving
time on the LCD.

Mode
Push “TRIP” to select distance to
empty, average speed and driving
time for the driving information. Each
push of the button changes the dis-
play as follows;
Distance to empty
This mode indicates the estimated distance to empty from the current
fuel in the fuel tank. When the
remaining distance is below 50 km
(30 miles), a blinking “--.-” symbol will
be displayed.
Trip computer recognizes only the amount of fuel consumed to the
engine. Therefore if the vehicle hap-
pens to abnormal oil leakage, the trip
computer fails to sense causing the
amount of fuel more than it really is.
