speed in revolutions per minute.
Driving with your tachometer
pointer continuously at the top of

Fuel gauge: Indicates
approximately how much fuel is left
in the fuel tank (when the ignition
is in the ON position). The fuel
gauge may vary slightly when the
vehicle is in motion or on a grade.
Proper gauge indication requires the
ignition to be in the OFF or
ACCESSORY position during refueling, otherwise correct fuel indication
after refueling can be slow to update. Also, a minimum of 3 gallons
(11 liters) is needed for correct indication after refueling.
NOTE: The FUEL icon and arrow indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler door is located.
Refer to Filling the tank in theMaintenance and Specifications
chapter for more information.
