If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop the engine,
switch the ignition off and determine the
cause once the engine has cooled down.
See Engine Coolant Check (page 217).
Fuel Gauge
Note: : The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is
left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to
the fuel pump symbol indicates on which
side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is
located.
The needle should move toward F when
you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points
to E after adding fuel, this indicates your
vehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal.
Note: It may take a short time for the
needle to reach F after leaving the gas
station. This is normal and depends upon
the slope of pavement at the gas station.
Note: The fuel amount dispensed into the
tank is a little less or more than the gauge
indicated. This is normal and depends upon
the slope of pavement at the gas station.
Note: If the gas station nozzle shuts off
before the tank is full, try a different gas
pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers at about 50
miles (80 km). The low fuel warning light
will light, a warning chime will sound and
a pop up will be shown in the display
indicating the remaining distance to empty.
You will also get a subsequent reminder
at 20, 10 and 0 miles.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators alert you to a vehicle condition
that may become serious. Some lamps
light when you start your vehicle to make
sure they work. If any lamps remain on
after starting your vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning lamp for further
information.
Note: Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and function the
same as a warning lamp but do not display
when you start your vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control (If Equipped)
The speed control system
indicator light changes color to
indicate what mode the system
is in.
On (white light): Illuminates when you
switch on the adaptive cruise control
system. Turns off when you switch off the
speed control system.
Engaged (green light): Illuminates when
you engage the adaptive cruise control
system. Turns off when you disengage the
speed control system.
Anti-Lock Braking System
If it lights when you are driving,
this indicates a malfunction. You
continue to have normal braking
(without anti-lock braking system) unless
the brake system warning lamp also lights.
Have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
Auto Start-stop (If Equipped)
It lights to inform you when the
engine shuts down or in
conjunction with a message.
