3-8 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 while the
engine is not warmed up enough should
be avoided.
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal
operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.
Refer to In case of emergency in
chapter 9.
& ECO gauge
The ECO gauge shows the difference
between the average rate of fuel con-
sumption and the current rate of fuel
consumption. Using the average rate of
fuel consumption since the trip meter was
last reset, if the current rate of fuel
consumption is higher than the average
rate of fuel consumption, the indicator
needle points to the + or right side, and if
the current rate of fuel consumption is
lower than the average rate of f uel
consumption, the indicator needle points
to the or left side. When the indicator
needle is pointing to the + or right side, it
indicates fuel-efficient driving.
NOTE
. T he ECO gauge shows only an
approximate indication.
. After resetting the trip meter, the
average rate of fuel consumption is not
shown until driving 0.6 mile (1 km).
Until that time, the ECO gauge does not
operate.
