GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 79 WARNING! 4. Oil Pressure Gauge 7. Fuel Gauge A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. It is recommended to call an authorized dealer for service if your vehicle overheats. The pointer should always indicate some oil pressure when the engine is running. A continuous high or low reading under normal driving conditions may indicate a lubrication system malfunction. Immediate service should be obtained from an autho rized dealer. The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.
The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the vehicle where the fuel filler door is located. CAUTION! 5. Speedometer NOTE: 3 Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads greater “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. Indicates vehicle speed. The gauge may take up to five seconds to update after adding a gallon or more of DEF to the DEF tank.
If you have a fault related to the DEF system, the gauge may not update to the new level. See an authorized dealer for service. 6. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Gauge The DEF Gauge displays the actual level of Diesel Exhaust Fluid in the DEF tank. DEF is required to maintain normal vehicle opera tion and emissions compliance. If some thing is wrong with the gauge, a DEF Warning Message or Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will be displayed. More informa tion is available in the instrument cluster display section under the heading of DEF Warning Messages. The DEF gauge may also not immediately update after a refill if the temperature of the DEF fluid is below 39°F (4°C).
The DEF tank heater will possibly warm up the DEF fluid and allow the gauge to update after a period of run time. Under very cold conditions, it is possible that the gauge may not reflect the new fill level for several drives. 3. Instrument Cluster Display When the appropriate conditions exist, this display shows the instrument cluster display messages Ъ page81. The display always shows one of the main menu item after the ignition is placed on.
