ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
GUID-D5E661BA-ABB6-4187-81AB-36A1F6EA0A18The gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-
perature.
The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the gauge points within the
zone
*1shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of the normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease temperature. If gauge is over
the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible. If the engine is
overheated, continued operation of the
vehicle may seriously damage the en-
gine. See ªIf your vehicle overheatsº
(P.6-17) for immediate action required.
