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 ignition and let the engine cool.
Refer to Engine coolant in the
Maintenance and care chapter.

Never remove the coolant
recovery cap while the

engine is running or hot.

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