Temperature Gauge
Temperature Gauge
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, this gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature. Under normal driving conditions, the indicator should stay within the normal, acceptable temperature range between “H” and “C”. If the indicator goes outside this range and approaches “H”, overheating is indicated. Follow the instructions in the “If the Engine Overheats” of “Emergency Remedies” section.
CAUTION:
Continuing to drive the vehicle when
engine overheating is indicated can
result in severe engine damage.
