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 “Problems on the Road,” section of this manual
explains what to do. See “Engine Overheating” in 
the Index.
