The tachometer may vary by several
hundred rpm, during Auto Stop mode,

If equipped, the shift indicators are
displayed on instrument cluster and
Head-Up Display (HUD). The shift
indicators are only operational when
the automatic transmission is in

is less than 70°C (158°F) and the
vehicle odometer value is less than
805 kilometers (500 miles) the shift
indications are not displayed. A strong visual indicator is displayed
as the vehicle approaches the red line.

Fuel Gauge
Base Level
Uplevel Sport Mode Shown, Other
Modes Similar When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel gauge
pointing to the side of the vehicle the
fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There still is
a little fuel left, but the vehicle should
be refueled soon.
The fuel gauge may:
.Take a little more, or less fuel to fill
up than it indicates. For example,
the gauge may have indicated the
tank is half full, but it actually takes
a little more, or less than half the
tank's capacity to fill the tank.
.Move a little while turning a corner,
speeding up, or braking.
.Take a few seconds to stabilize after
the ignition is turned on and goes
back to empty when the ignition is
turned off.
These are normal conditions, none of
which indicate a problem with the fuel
gauge.

Fuel Range
The uplevel instrument cluster has a
estimated fuel range located at the
bottom center of the display. The fuel
range is displayed with the
approximate distance the vehicle can
be driven without refueling. The fuel
range estimate is based on an average
of the vehicle’s fuel economy over
recent driving history and the amount
of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
When the estimated fuel range is low,
the range shows LOW and a message
may also display in the Driver
Information Center (DIC).

English
This gauge measures the temperature
of the vehicle's engine.
While driving under normal operating
conditions, if the red LED is
illuminated, the engine is too hot. Pull
off the road, stop the vehicle, and turn
off the engine as soon as possible.
