FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge displays the current fuel tank level. An arrowhead symbol, next to the fuel pump symbol, indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler flap is located.
The low fuel warning lamp illuminates to indicate that the vehicle should be refueled in the near future. The approximate driving distance for the current fuel level can be viewed via the trip computer. See TRIP COMPUTER.

The temperature gauge displays the current engine temperature.
If the pointer moves into the red segment, the engine is overheating. In this event, the engine temperature warning lamp illuminates. If the engine overheats, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits. Allow the engine to idle until the temperature reduces. If the temperature does not reduce after several minutes, switch the engine off and allow it to cool. If the problem persists, seek qualified assistance immediately.
Serious engine damage occurs if the vehicle is driven while the engine is overheating.
Engine performance may be reduced, and some vehicle systems may stop working if the engine overheats.
