This indicator is in the fuel gauge. It
comesonasareminderthatyou
must refuel soon. When the indicator
comes on, there is about 1.2 U.S. gal
(4.5
) of fuel remaining in the tank
before the needle reaches E. There
is a small reserve of fuel remaining
in the tank when the needle does
reach E.
This
indicator comes on briefly when
you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position. It will then go off if
you have inserted a properly-coded
ignition key. If it is not a properly-
coded key, the indicator will blink,
and the engine’s fuel system will be
disabled. (see page ). This
indicator comes on when you
turn on the fog lights. See page
for information on fog light
operation.
You will also see a ‘‘FUEL LOW’’
message on the multi-information
display (see page ).
This indicator also blinks several
times when you turn the ignition
switch f rom the ON (II) position to
the ACCESSORY (I) or LOCK (0)
position.

This shows the temperature of the
engine’s coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise to
about the middle of the gauge. In
severe driving conditions, the pointer
may rise to the upper zone. If it
reaches the red (hot) mark, pull
safely to the side of the road. Turn to
page f or instructions and
precautions on checking the engine’s
cooling system.
This shows how much f uel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount. Driving
uphill or making turns can cause the
needle to f luctuate or the low f uel
indicator to come on early. The
needle returns to the bottom after
you turn of f the ignition. 322
