Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage displays the
temperature of the
vehicle’s engine.
If the indicator needle moves into the shaded
area, the engine is too hot. The engine coolant
temperature warning light will also come on when
the engine has overheated. See Engine Coolant
Temperature Warning Light on page 173 for more
information.
If you have been operating your vehicle under
normal driving conditions, and the engine coolant
temperature warning 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 174.
Notice: Driving with the low coolant warning
light on could cause your vehicle to overheat.
See “Engine Overheating” under Engine
Coolant on page 331. Your vehicle could be
damaged and the damages might not be
covered by your warranty.
See Engine Coolant on page 331 for information
on what to do. Your vehicle should be serviced as
soon as possible.
