FORD 2001 Ranger - Manual (Page 17)

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 care chapter.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap and/or the radiator cap
while the engine is running or hot, this may result in serious
burns.
NOTE: 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.
Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in
revolutions per minute.
Driving with your tachometer
pointer continuously at the top of
the scale may damage the engine.
