9. Oil Pressure Gauge
The pointer should always indicate some oil pres-
sure when the engine is running. A continuous
high or low reading, under normal driving conditions,
may indicate a lubrication system malfunction. Immedi-
ate service should be obtained.
NOTE:
If the gauge pointer moves to either extreme of
the gauge, the “Check Gages Warning Light” will illumi-
nate and a single chime will sound.
10. Transfer Case Position Light
This display indicator shows the transfer case position
selection.
For additional information refer to “Four-Wheel Drive
Operation” in Section 5 of this manual.
11. TOW HAUL Indicator Light
The TOW HAUL button is located at the end of
the shift lever. This light will illuminate when
the TOW HAUL button is pushed once.
12. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature. Any reading within the normal
range indicates that the cooling system is operat-
ing satisfactorily. The gauge needle will likely indicate a
higher temperature when driving in hot weather, up
mountain grades, in heavy traffic, or when towing a
trailer. If the needle rises to the 245°F (118°C) mark, stop
the vehicle, shift into NEUTRAL, and increase the engine
idle speed for two to three minutes. If the temperature
reading does not return to normal, shut your engine OFF
and allow it to cool. Seek authorized service immediately.
Refer to “Cooling System” under “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” in Section 7.
