6. Temperature gauge
Once the engine coolant has reached its
normal operating temperature, the pointer
should be almost vertical (the precise position
will vary depending on the ambient
temperature). If the pointer moves towards
the RED segment, a RED warning light in the
temperature gauge illuminates. Should the
pointer move INTO the red segment, stop the
vehicle as soon as safety permits and seek
qualified assistance before continuing.
7. Fuel gauge
The pointer drops to zero when the starter
switch is turned off, but quickly rises to show
the level of fuel in the tank when the switch is
turned to position ’II’. After refuelling, the
gauge rapidly changes to reflect the increase
of fuel in the tank.
NOTE: The gauge may not indicate fuel level
increases of 4 US gallons (15 litres) or less.
When the fuel remaining in the tank is a
minimum of 2.4 gallons (9 litres), the AMBER
warning light will illuminate. If the light
illuminates, refuel at the first opportunity.
Fuel tank capacity is approximately 25 usable
US gallons (93 litres).
WARNING
NEVER allow your vehicle to run out of fuel
(the resultant misfire may destroy the
catalytic converter).
