or “Trip F” begins flashing (“Trip” or
“Trip F” will only flash for five
seconds). While “Trip” or “Trip F” is
flashing, push the “RESET” button for
at least one second. If you do not
reset the fuel reserve tripmetermanually, it will reset itself automati-
cally and the display will return to the

TIP
The display cannot be changed back
to “Trip F” after pushing the “RESET”
button.

With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear
towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the fuel level rea-
ches the bottom segment near “E”,
the fuel level warning indicator and
the bottom segment will flash. Refuel
as soon as possible.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. The
coolant temperature varies with chan-
ges in the weather and engine load. Ifthe top segment and coolant tempe-
rature warning indicator flash, stop
the vehicle and let the engine cool.

Engine overheatingEWA10400
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the his-
sing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIP
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended
coolant as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
