Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
It also provides an indicator of how hard your
vehicle is working. During a majority of the
operation, the gage will read 210°F (100°C) or
less. If you are pulling a load or going up hills,
it is normal for the temperature to uctuate
and approach the 250°F (122°C) mark. If the gage
reaches the 260°F (125°C) mark, it indicates
that the cooling system is working beyond
its capacity.
SeeEngine Overheating on page 448.

equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitor
system, this light will
come on if the system
detects low tire
pressure.
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE DIC message will
accompany the light.
This light will also come on briey as you start the
engine.
