Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the gage pointer moves into the red area, your engine is too hot!

A temperature indicator light will come on and a chime will sound.

If you have been operating your vehicle under normal driving conditions and the temperature indicator light turns on, you should pull off the road, stop your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.

The ªProblems on the Road,º section of this manual explains what to do. See ªEngine Overheatingº in the Index.
