Gauges |

The
gauge works when the ignition switch is on and indicates approximate quantity
of fuel remaining in the tank.
It is a good idea to keep
the tank over 1/4 full.
This fuel gauge has a non-return
type needle. Therefore the needle will remain at the indicated fuel level
position regardless of the position of the ignition switch.
Do not drive with the fuel
level below the "E" or with the low fuel level warning light on. It may
cause engine misfire and damage to the catalytic convertor.
Engine Temperature Gauge
The gauge
indicates the engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is on.
The engine operating temperature will vary with changes in weather and
engine load.
If the neddle points to the red zone or high, stop your vehicle and allow it to cool.
You vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions, such as
The oil pressure gauge indicates engine oil pressure when the ignition is on.
Check it while driving to make sure that the needle is in the proper reange.
If the oil pressure should stay below the normal range, pull off the road to a safe place and stop
the engine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repari shop for assistance.
Oil pressure may not build up when the oil level is too low. The oil pressure gauge is not designed
to indicate oil level, and the oil level must be checked using the level dipstick.
