The low traction light also comes on briefly when you
turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light doesn’t come
on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you when
the traction control system is active.

Engine Coolant Temperature Light

This light tells you that 
your engine coolant has
overheated or your radiator
cooling fan is not working.

The light will come on briefly when your ignition is
turned on to show you that it is working.

If you have been operating your vehicle under normal
driving conditions, you should pull off the road, stop
your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

You have a gage that 
shows the engine coolant
temperature. If the gage
pointer moves into the red
area, your engine is too hot!

That reading means the same thing as the warning light.
It means that your engine coolant has overheated. If you
have been operating your vehicle under normal driving
conditions, you should pull off the road, stop your
vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
