16. Gas Pedal Percentage Gauge/Turbo Gauge/ECO In-
dex Gauge
Depending on what options and trim level, your vehicle
is equipped with there are three gauges available.•Gas Pedal Percentage Gauge: This gauge shows
what percent the gas pedal is currently depressed at.
• Turbo Gauge: This gauge shows the current turbo
usage.
• ECO Index Gauge: The ECO Index gauge allows the
driver to monitor their driving style in order to
increase fuel economy. The efficiency of the driving
style is displayed on a gauge located on the right
side of the instrument cluster and ranges from a
minimum value of 0 up to a maximum value of 5 (0
= low, 5 = high). A higher “ECO” index indicates a more fuel efficient drive style and will increase your
fuel economy. A lower “ECO” index indicates fre-
quent accelerations/decelerations and will decrease
your fuel economy. The index is recalculated ap-
proximately every second and takes into account a
combination of the instant fuel economy and your
driving style during the current trip.
NOTE: Different trips may have different values even if
the same driving style is maintained. Some factors that
may impact the calculated index value are:
•Traffic conditions
• Trip duration
• Temperature (engine and ambient)
17. Fuel Gauge
Shows level of fuel in tank when ignition switch is in the
ON/RUN position.

located in the instrument cluster. For further information,
refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel.”
19. Temperature Gauge

ture. Any reading within the normal range indicates that
the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.

ture when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades,
or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to
exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads
“H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on the “H” and you hear continuous chimes,
turn the engine off immediately and call an autho-
rized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer
