Push in the reset button to reset the trip
odometer at zero. It will then reduce in

Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge

This gauge shows the temperature of the
engine coolant.

At normal operating temperature, the
needle remains within the normal area
(the area between the H and C). If it
enters the red section, the engine is over-
heating. Stop the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible, switch off the engine immediately
and let the engine cool.

CAUTION

Driving with an overheated engine
can cause serious engine damage
(see page 6-3).
