Left and Right Information Group

Information that appears depends on current
gauge view and on-demand settings.  See
General Information (page 127).

Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge indicates about how much
fuel is in the fuel tank.

The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol
indicates on which side of your vehicle the
fuel filler door is located.

Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a slope.

Distance to Empty

Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in
the tank. Changes in driving pattern can
cause the value to not only decrease but also
increase or stay constant for periods of time

Low Fuel Reminder

A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty reaches
75 mi (120 km) to empty for MyKey, and at
50 mi (80 km), 25 mi (40 km), 10 mi (20 km)
and 0 mi (0 km) for all vehicle keys.

Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator will be in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop your vehicle as soon as
safely possible, switch off the engine and let
the engine cool.

WARNING: Do not remove the

coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with
a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of
scalding and slowly remove the cap.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury.
