shown inthe
illustration.
The engine coolant temperature willvary with the
outside airtemperature anddriving conditions.
CAUTION:
. Ifthe gauge indicates theengine coolant
temperature isnear thehot (H)end ofthe
normal range,reduce vehicle speedto
decrease thetemperature.
. Ifthe gauge isover thenormal range,stop
the vehicle assoon assafely possible and
let the engine idle.
. Ifthe engine isoverheated, continuedop-
eration ofthe vehicle mayseriously damage

While theengine isrunning, selecting airflowtothe
front defogger willprevent theStop/Start Systemor
Idling StopSystem fromautomatically stoppingthe
engine.
When theengine isstopped bythe Stop/Start System
or Idling StopSystem, heaterandairconditioner
performance maybereduced. To keep fullheater and
air conditioner performance, restarttheengine by
