GAUGES

Engine coolant temperature gauge

Indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant. At normal operating
temperature, the needle remains
within the normal area (the area
between the “H” and “C”). If it
enters the red section, the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, switch off
the engine immediately and let the engine cool. Refer to Engine coolant
in the Maintenance and specifications chapter.

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot. Steam and scalding liquid from a hot cooling

system can burn you badly.

This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the
coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge indication
will not be accurate.
