Fuel gauge

Do not operate the engine with the
needle in the red overspeed zone of the
gauge.

To protect the engine, the engine-man-
agement system automatically inter-
rupts the fuel supply in this range; the
resulting effect resembles that associ-
ated with a sudden loss of power.

Indicates the current fuel consumption
in mpg (in liters/100 km on Canadian
vehicles). This allows you to see
whether your current driving style is
conducive to fuel economy with mini-
mum exhaust emissions.

When the vehicle is stationary, the
display goes to "Maximum" (zero on
Canadian models).

When you switch on the ignition, the in-
dicator lamp comes on briefly to con-
firm that the system is operational.

If the indicator lamp comes on and
stays on, there are approx.

2.6 gallons (10 liters)

of fuel still in the tank.

Tank capacity: refer to page

Certain operating conditions (such as
those encountered in mountainous ar-
eas) may cause the needle to fluctuate
slightly.

Please refuel early, as driving to
the last drop of fuel can result in

damage to the engine and/or catalytic
converter.
