Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
United States Canada
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
To prevent engine overheating, the air conditioning
compressor will turn off automatically just prior to the
gage pointer entering the shaded area. As the engine
cools down, the air conditioning compressor will
automatically turn back on. On vehicles equipped with
the DIC, the message ENGINE HOT... A/C DISABLED
will appear in the DIC display and a warning chime
will sound.
If the gage pointer moves into the shaded area, your
engine is too hot. On vehicles equipped with the systems
monitor, the CHECK GAGES light will come on and a
warning chime will sound.
On vehicles with a DIC, a CHECK GAGES
TEMPERATURE message will be displayed and a
warning chime will sound. See “DIC Warnings and
Messages” in the Index for more information.
The section “Problems on the Road,” in this manual
explains what to do if your engine overheats. See
“Engine Overheating” in the Index.
