Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge ¢ page 10, fig. 3 CD
on ly works when t he ignition is on. To prevent
damage to your engine, please note the follow
ing important points :
Engine cold
If the needle is at or close to the bottom o f the
gauge, the engine has not yet reached its operat
i ng temperature. Avo id high engine speeds,
heavy engine loads, and heavy thrott le applica
tions .
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating tem
perature, the needle will move to the middle of
the ga uge and rema in there. I f the engine is
working hard at hig h outs ide temperatures, t he
needle may move higher on the gauge. This is not
a cause for concern as long as the. warning

The following information is continuo usly evalu
ated by the trip computer and can be displayed
seq uent ia lly in the instrument cl uster display:
Fue l range
The estimated cruising range in m iles (km) ap
pears in t he disp lay . This te lls you how fa r your
vehicle wi ll be able to travel on the current tank
of fuel and with the same driving style. The dis
p lay changes in increments of 5 mi les (10 km) .
Average fuel mileage
The average fue l economy in M PG (l/ 100 km)
since yo u last cleared the memory appears in this
disp lay . You can use this display to adjust your
driving technique to achieve a desired mileage .
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in miles per
ga llon (l/100 km) is shown in this display . Yo u
can use th is disp lay to adjust your d riving techni
q ue to achieve a desi red mileage .
F ue l consumption is reca lcula ted at interva ls of
33 yards (30 meters). This d isplay switches to
ga llons/ho ur (lite rs/hour) when the vehicle is not
moving.
Average speed
The average speed in mph (km/h) since the last
time the display was reset appears in the display.
Elapsed time
T he length of time that you have been driving
since you last reset the memory appears in this

-Fuel consumptions (average and current),
range and speed are disp layed in metric
units on Canadian models .
- All stored va lues w ill be lost if the veh icle
