The fuel gauge shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition is in the ON/RUN mode.
The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the vehicle where the fuel door is located. - Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant temperature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer for service if your vehicle overheats.
CAUTION!
- Driving with a hot engine cooling system could dam-age your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H”, turn the engine off immediately and call an authorized dealer for service.
