when the Keyless Push Button Ignition is in the
ON/RUN position.

vehicle where the fuel door is located.
6. Driver Information Display (DID) •When the appropriate conditions exist, this
display shows the Driver Information Dis-
play (DID) messages. Refer to “Driver In-
formation Display” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
7. Temperature Gauge •The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tem-
perature. Any reading within the normal range indi-
cates that the engine cooling system is operating
satisfactorily. •
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tem-
perature 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”, turn the engine off immediately
and call an authorized dealer for service.
