Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Light

The engine coolant
temperature warning light
will come on when the
engine has overheated.

If this happens you should pull over and turn off the
engine as soon as possible. See Engine Overheating
on page 5-26 for more information.

Notice: Driving with the engine coolant temperature
warning light on could cause your vehicle to
overheat. See Engine Overheating
on page 5-26.
Your vehicle could be damaged, and it might not
be covered by your warranty. Never drive with
the engine coolant temperature warning light on.

This light will also come on briefly when starting
your vehicle. If it does not, have your vehicle serviced.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

This gage shows the
engine coolant
temperature.

It indicates when the engine has warmed up and if
the cooling system is operating properly. If the gage
pointer moves into the shaded area, the engine coolant
is too hot and the engine coolant temperature warning
light will come on. See Engine Overheating on
page 5-26
for more information.
