Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Light (CTS)
This light tells you that
your engine is very hot.
This light will come on when you first start the vehicle
as a check to let you know that the light is working. It will
go out after a few seconds. If the light does not come
on, the bulb may be burned out. See your dealer for
assistance in changing the bulb.
If the light does not go out or if the light comes on and
stays on while you are driving, your vehicle may have
a problem with the cooling system. You should stop the
vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible
to avoid damage to the engine. A warning chime
will sound when this light is on, also.
See Engine Overheating on page 5-30 and Message
Center (CTS-V) on page 3-47 for more information.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the
engine coolant
temperature. If the gage
pointer moves into
the shaded area, the
engine is too hot.
That reading means the same thing as the warning
light – the engine coolant is very hot. See Engine
Overheating on page 5-30.
