3-11
imate amount of fuel remaining in the tank. Use this indication only as a guide.. If you refuel while the ignition switch is in the“ ON” position, the fuel gauge may not indicate the correct amount of the fuel in the fuel tank.. If the refuel amount is less than approximately 4.0 US gal( 15 liters, 3.3 Imp gal), it may take some time until the fuel gauge indication stabilizes.
& Temperature gauge
1) Normal operating range
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” F9- 11.
& ECO gauge
The unit displayed varies depending on the models.
The ECO gauge shows the difference between the average rate of fuel consumption since the trip meter was last reset and the current rate of fuel consumption.
The ECO gauge indicates the current fuel efficiency as shown in the following chart.
