display just before the ignition switch
is pushed to the OFF position may
continue to be displayed.
. When driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shifts, which may momentarily change the display.

The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature.
This displays the temperature of the
engine coolant. The range of coolant over-
heat is indicated by the horizontal line of
the upper part of the H mark.
The engine coolant temperature varies with
the outside air temperature and driving
conditions.
CAUTION
If the engine is overheated, continued
operation of the vehicle may seriously
damage the engine. See
“If your vehicle
overheats ”in the “6. In case of emergency ”
section for immediate action required.
