Fuel Gauge
Indicates approximately how much
fuel is left in the fuel tank (when the
ignition is on). The fuel gauge may
vary slightly when the vehicle is in
motion or on a grade. The fuel icon
and arrow indicates which side of the
vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
Indicates engine coolant temperature.
At normal operating temperature, the
level indicator will be in the normal
range. If the engine coolant
temperature exceeds the normal
range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible, switch off the engine
and let the engine cool.
WARNING
Never remove the coolant
reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot. WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious.
Some lamps will illuminate when you
start your vehicle to make sure they
work. If any lamps remain on after
starting your vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning lamp for
further information.
Note:
Some warning indicators appear
in the information display and function
the same as a warning lamp but do not
display when you start your vehicle.

indicator light changes color
to indicate what mode the

turned on. Turns off when the speed
control system is turned off.

significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It will take
you longer to stop your vehicle. Have
your vehicle checked by your
authorized dealer immediately. Driving
extended distances with the parking
brake engaged can cause brake failure
and the risk of personal injury. Cruise Control
