5-10 Instruments and Controls
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge shows about how much fuel
the vehicle has left in the fuel tank.
An arrow on the fuel gauge shows
the side of the vehicle on which the
fuel door is located.
The gauge indicates empty before
the vehicle is out of fuel, to show
that the vehicle's fuel tank should be
filled soon.
When the fuel tank is low on fuel, a
FUEL LEVEL LOW message will
appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). For more information
seeFuel System Messages on
page 5-36. Here are some situations that can
occur with the fuel gauge. None of
these indicate a problem with the
fuel gauge.
.At the gas station, the fuel pump
shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
.It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the fuel gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
.The pointer on the fuel gauge is
on empty when the ignition is off.
Engine Oil Pressure
Gauge
Metric
English
For vehicles with the oil pressure
gauge, it is near the shift lever, and
shows the engine oil pressure

in kPa (kilopascals) or psi (pounds
per square inch) when the engine is
running.
Oil pressure may vary with engine
speed, outside temperature, and oil
viscosity, but readings above the
low pressure zone indicate the
normal operating range. When the
oil pressure reaches the low
pressure zone, a message appears
in the Driver Information Center
(DIC). SeeEngine Oil Messages on
page 5-35 andEngine Oil on
page 10-15.
{Caution
Lack of proper engine oil
maintenance can damage the
engine. Driving with the engine
oil low can also damage the
engine. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Check the oil level as soon as
possible. Add oil if required, but if
the oil level is within the operating
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
range and the oil pressure is still
low, have the vehicle serviced.
Always follow the maintenance
schedule for changing engine oil.
A reading in the low pressure zone
can be caused by a dangerously
low oil level or some other problem
causing low oil pressure. Check the
oil as soon as possible.
Engine Oil Temperature

5-12 Instruments and Controls
English
For vehicles with this gauge, it is
near the shift lever and indicates
engine oil temperature. If the gauge
pointer moves to the higher end of
the gauge, the engine oil
temperature is operating hotter than
normal. It is acceptable if this
happens during aggressive driving
or race track usage. The DIC will
display a warning message if the
engine oil temperature exceeds an
acceptable level. See Engine Oil
Messages on page 5-35.
Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge
Metric
English
This gauge indicates the engine
coolant temperature. If the gauge
pointer moves to the H or the
shaded area, the engine coolant is
operating hotter than normal. It is
acceptable if this happens during
aggressive driving or race track
usage. The DIC will display a
warning message if the engine
coolant temperature exceeds an
acceptable level. See Engine
Cooling System Messages on
page 5-35.

Transmission
Temperature Gauge
(Except ZL1)
Metric
English
For vehicles with this gauge, it is
near the shift lever, and shows the
transmission oil temperature when
the ignition is on. If the gauge is reading in the red area and/or a
message appears in the Driver
Information Center (DIC), the
vehicle must be stopped and the
cause checked. One possible cause
is a low fluid level in the
transmission.
For information on the DIC
messages see
Transmission
Messages on page 5-41.
{Caution
Do not drive the vehicle while the
transmission fluid is overheating,
or the transmission can be
damaged. This could lead to
costly repairs that would not be
covered by the warranty.
Voltmeter Gauge
Metric
English
For vehicles with this gauge, it is
near the shift lever, and shows the
battery's state of charge in DC volts.
When the engine is running and the
ignition is on, this gauge shows the
condition of the charging system.

5-22 Instruments and Controls
Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), this light
comes on briefly when the engine is
started. It provides information
about tire pressures and the TPMS.
When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of
the tires are significantly
underinflated.
A Driver Information Center (DIC)
tire pressure message may also
display. SeeTire Messages on
page 5-40. Stop as soon as
possible, and inflate the tires to the
pressure value shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label. See
Tire Pressure on page 10-64. When the Light Flashes First and
Then Is On Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute
and then stays on, there may be a
problem with the TPMS. If the
problem is not corrected, the light
will come on at every ignition cycle.
See
Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation on page 10-67.
Engine Oil Pressure Light
{Caution
Lack of proper engine oil
maintenance can damage the
engine. Driving with the engine
oil low can also damage the
engine. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Check the oil level as soon as
possible. Add oil if required, but if
the oil level is within the operating
range and the oil pressure is still
low, have the vehicle serviced.
Always follow the maintenance
schedule for changing engine oil.
This light should come on briefly as
the engine is started. If it does not
come on, have the vehicle serviced
by your dealer.
If the light comes on and stays on, it
means that oil is not flowing through
the engine properly. The vehicle
could be low on oil and might have
some other system problem. See
your dealer.

Messages on page 5-33. Oil Temperature and Oil Pressure
The oil temperature display shows
the temperature of the engine oil in
either Celsius (C) or degrees
Fahrenheit (F). The oil pressure
display shows the current oil
pressure. Oil pressure varies with
engine load and RPM. If there is an
issue with oil pressure a message
will display on the DIC.
