It
takes a little more or less
fuel
to
fill
up than the fuel gage indicated.
For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half
full,
but
it
actually
took
a
little
more
or
less than
half
the tank’s capacity to
fill
the
tank.
The gage moves
a
little when
you
turn a corner or speed up.

The gage doesn’t go back

empty when you turn off the ignition.
None
of

a

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. Most of the
time,
the gage
pointer will show your coolant temperature at 210°F (99”C), or less. But,
if
you
are pulling a heavy load or driving up hills, your coolant temperature
may rise and fall near
the
red 260°F
(1
28°C) mark. This
is
normal.
If
the
gage pointer moves
to
the red 260°F
(1
28°C) mark, your engine is too hot!
It
means that your engine coolant has overheated.
You
should pull off the
road, stop
your
vehicle, and
turn
off
the engine as soon as possible.
Hot Coolant Can
Burn
You
Badly!
In
“Problems
on
the
Road,” this manual shows what
to
do. See “Engine
Overheating”
in
the Index.
