Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

If the gage pointer moves towards the H, the engine is
too hot.
This reading indicates the same thing as the warning
light. It means that the engine coolant has overheated.
If the vehicle has been operating under normal
driving conditions, pull off the road, stop the vehicle,
and turn off the engine as soon as possible. See Engine
Overheating on page 5-30.
The vehicle has a gage
that shows the engine
coolant temperature.
