Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage measures the
temperature of the
vehicle’s engine. If the
indicator needle moves
into the shaded area, the
engine is too hot. A
temperature indicator light
will turn on and a chime
will sound.
If you have been operating your vehicle under normal
driving conditions, and the temperature indicator
light comes on, you should pull off the road, stop your
vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
Low Coolant Warning Light
This light comes on briefly
when you turn your
ignition on.
If this light comes on and stays on, the coolant level in
your vehicle is low. If the light is on along with an
overheat warning, you may have a serious overheating
problem. See Engine Coolant Temperature Gage on
page 3-33.
Notice: Driving with the low coolant warning light
on could cause your vehicle to overheat. See
“Engine Overheating” under Engine Coolant on
page 5-23. Your vehicle could be damaged and the
damages might not be covered by your warranty.
See Engine Coolant on page 5-23 for information
on what to do. Your vehicle should be serviced as soon
as possible.
