NOTICE
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of the
normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease temperature. If gauge is over
the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible. If the engine is
overheated, continued operation of the
vehicle may seriously damage the en-
gine. (

The gauge indicates the approximatefuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to E (Empty) after the
ignition switch is pushed to the LOCK position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers ªEº (Empty) .
The low fuel warning will be indicated on the
vehicle information display when the fuel tank is
getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,
preferably before the gauge reaches ªEº. There
will be a small reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge needle reaches ªEº. (

Example
When the maximum engine speed is
desired:
Set the upshift indicator to AUTO. The yellow
indicator illuminates approximately 700 RPM
before the red zone, and the red indicator
illuminates just before the red zone.
When the maximum engine torque is
desired:
Set the figure at 6,000 RPM. The green
indicator starts flashing from approximately 5,500 RPM and illuminates at 6,000 RPM.
When breaking-in the vehicle:
To help avoid high engine speeds during break-
in, set the upshift indicator to less than 3,500
RPM. The green indicator starts flashing ap-
proximately 500 RPM before the set figure and
illuminates from the set figure. (
