Gauges
Temperature Gauge
This shows the temperature of the
engine's coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise
from the bottom mark to about the
middle of the gauge. In severe
driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill
driving, the pointer may rise into the
upper half of the gauge. If it reaches
the red mark, pull safely to the side
of the road. Turn to page
petrol models and page
models for instructions and
precautions on checking the engine's
cooling system.

Instruments and Controls
Fuel Gauge
This shows how much fuel you have.
It is most accurate when the car is on
level ground. It may show slightly
more or less than the actual amount
when you are driving on curvy or
hilly roads.
The needle returns to the bottom
after you turn off the ignition. The
gauge shows the fuel level reading
517 on immediately after you turn the
519 on diesel ignition switch back to the ON (II)
position.
On Petrol models only
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire,
damaging the catalytic converter.
On Diesel models only
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp will
come on or the Glow Plugs Indicator
will blink when you restart the
engine after your car has run out of
fuel.
