Tachometer Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute.

Engine coolant temperature gauge Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating temperature, the needle remains within the normal zone. If it enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Switch off the engine and allow it to cool. Refer to Checking and adding engine coolant and What you should know about fail-safe cooling in the Maintenance and care chapter.

Fuel gauge For information on the capacity of the fuel tank, refer to the Capacities and specifications chapter. The fuel gauge displays approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank only when the ignition is ON. For proper fuel gauge indication after adding fuel, turn the ignition switch OFF while refueling the vehicle.

Instrumentation

The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion. The most accurate reading is obtained with the vehicle on level ground. With ignition switch OFF, the fuel gage indicator may drift from the ignition switch ON position. Refer the Ignition information in the Controls and features chapter for more information on the positions of the ignition.

Charging system gauge If the pointer moves and stays outside of the normal range, have the vehicle’s electrical system checked as soon as safely possible.

Engine oil pressure gauge Indicates the engine oil pressure in the system. Sufficient pressure exists as long as the needle is in the normal range. If the gauge constantly indicates low pressure at normal engine speed, refer to Checking and adding engine oil in the Maintenance and care chapter. If the gauge indicates a low pressure and the engine oil level is correct, switch off the engine immediately and have the vehicle
