Instruments and controls

We recommend that you drive moderately until the

pointer of the temperature gauge reaches near the

middle of the range. Engine operation is optimum with

the engine coolant at this temperature range and high

revving operation when the engine is not warmed up

enough should be avoided.

If the pointer exceeds the normal operating

range, safely stop the vehicle as soon as possi-

ble.

See the “In case of emergency” in chapter 9.

Warning and indicator lights

Several of the warning and indicator lights come on

momentarily and then go out when the ignition switch

is initially turned to the “ON” position. This permits

checking the operation of the bulbs.

Apply the parking brake and turn the ignition switch to

the “ON” position. The following lights come on:

: Seatbelt warning light

(The seatbelt warning light goes out only when you

fasten the seatbelt.)

: SRS airbag system warning light

: CHECK ENGINE warning light / Malfunction in-

dicator lamp

: Charge warning light

: Oil pressure warning light

: AT OIL temperature warning light (AT vehicles)

/

: ABS warning light
