This light warns of an overheated engine
condition. As temperatures rise and the gauge
approaches H, this indicator will illuminate

and a single chime will sound after reaching a set

If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over
and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it
off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not
return to normal, turn the engine off immediately
and call for service. Refer to “If Your Engine Over-
heats” in “What To Do In Emergencies” for more
information.
