The temperature gauge shows engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is in the “ ON ” position .
The coolant temperature will vary in accordance with the outside temperature and driving conditions .
We recommend that you drive moderately until the pointer of the temperature gauge reaches near the middle of the range . Engine operation is optimum with the engine coolant at this temperature range and high revving operation when the engine is not warmed up enough should be avoided .
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal operating range , safely stop the vehicle as soon as possible .
Refer to “ Engine Overheating ” FP465 .
