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-

in, set the upshift indicator to less than 3,500
RPM. The green indicator starts flashing ap-
proximately 500 RPM before the set figure and
illuminates from the set figure. (
