pointer of the tachometer in the red
zone. In this range, fuel injection will
be cut by the engine control module
to protect the engine from overrev-
ving. The engine will resume run-
ning normally after the engine speed
is reduced below the red zone.&Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel
level movement in the tank.
If you press the trip knob while the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK”or“Acc ”position,
the fuel gauge will light up and indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
If, while the fuel gauge is indicating the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank, you
(a) do not press the trip knob for 10
seconds or (b) open and close the driver
’s
door, the fuel gauge indication will go off.
NOTEYou will see the “
”sign in the fuel
gauge meter.
This indicates that the fuel filler door
(lid) is located on the right side of the
vehicle. !
Low fuel warning light
CAUTION
Promptly put fuel in the tank when-
ever the low fuel warning light
illuminates. Engine misfires as a
result of an empty tank could cause
damage to the engine.
The low fuel warning light illuminates
when the tank is nearly empty [approxi-
mately 2.6 US gal (10 liters, 2.2 Imp gal)].
It only operates when the ignition switch is
in the “ON ”position. When this light
illuminates, fill the fuel tank immediately.NOTEThis light does not go out unless the
tank is replenished up to an internal
fuel quantity of approximately 4.0 US
gal (15 liters, 3.3 Imp gal).
