Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Light
This light will tell you
that your engine coolant
has overheated or your
radiator cooling fans are
not working.
If you have been operating your vehicle under normal
driving conditions, you should pull off the road, stop
your vehicle and turn the engine off as soon as possible.
See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped
with the gage cluster, 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.
The engine coolant temperature gage indicates the
coolant temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The
Canadian instrument panels indicate the coolant
temperature in degrees Celsius.
