When driving
Instrument panel light controlThe brightness of the instrument panel lights can be adjusted. Brighter
Darker
■The brightness of the instrument panel lights
When the parking lights or the headlights turn on, the instrument panel lights
will dim. However, when the instrument panel brightness control dial is
turned to the up most position, the instrument panel lights will not dim even
when the parking lights or headlights turn on.
■Fuel gauge
●When the indicator needle is close to “E”, promptly refuel the vehicle.
●The relationship between the indicator needle and the consumed amount
(remaining fuel) is not always accurate. Only use it as a reference.
●When the vehicle is on an incline or curve, sudden acceleration and
stops and so forth cause the fuel inside the tank to move which may
cause the indicator needle to move up and down.
CAUTION
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if the temperature gauge is in the red
zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( →P. 403)
