1. Speedometer: Indicates the current vehicle speed.
2. Fuel gauge: Indicates approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel
tank (when the ignition is in the on position). The fuel gauge may vary
slightly when the vehicle is in motion or on a grade. The fuel icon and
arrow indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
3. Engine coolant temperature gauge: Indicates engine coolant
temperature. At normal operating temperature, the needle will be in the

engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible,
switch off the engine and let the engine cool.

Driving with your tachometer pointer continuously at the top of the scale
may damage the engine.
5. Engine oil pressure gauge (optional V6 and GT cluster only):
Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle should stay in the normal

range, stop the vehicle, turn off the engine and check the engine oil
level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle
checked at your authorized dealer.
6. Battery voltage gauge (optional V6 and GT cluster only):
Indicates the battery voltage when the ignition is in the on position. If
the pointer moves and stays outside the normal operating range, have
the vehicle’s electrical system checked as soon as possible.

odometer, refer to Message center in this chapter.
