The gauge the approximate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank when the “POWER” switch is set at ON. Nearly full—Needle at “F” Nearly empty—Needle at “E” It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full. If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low fuel level warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible. On inclines or curves, due to the move- ment of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual.

132

The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when the “POWER” switch is set at ON. The engine operating tem- perature will vary with changes in weather and engine load. 1. Red zone 2. Blue zone If the needle moves into the red zone, your engine is too hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the engine to cool.

When the needle is in the blue zone, the coolant temperature is cold. Heat may not be available while the coolant temperature is the blue zone. Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions, such as: D Driving up a long hill on a hot day. D Reducing speed or stopping after high

speed driving.

D Idling for a long period with the air conditioning on in stop−and−go traffic.

NOTICE

z Do not remove the thermostat

in the engine cooling system as this may cause the engine to overheat. The thermostat is designed to con- trol the flow of coolant to keep the temperature of the engine within the specified operating range.

z Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. See “If your ve- hicle overheats” on page 317 in Section 4.

fuel consumption

The fuel economy meter indicates the current in analog form when the engine is running. When only the traction motor powers the ve- hicle, the needle indicates “E MODE”. D The needle may indicate the best rate on the meter when the engine is run- ning but the fuel is not consumed.

D The needle may indicate the best rate on the meter when fuel consumption is less than the indicated value.

D The needle may indicate the worst rate on the meter when fuel consumption is more than the indicated value.
