This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the
gage pointer moves into the red area, your engine is too
hot !
That reading means the same thing as the warning light.
It means that your engine coolant has overheated. If you
have been operating your vehicle under normal driving
conditions, you should pull off the road, stop your
vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
The chapter "Problems on the Road," in this manual
explains what to do. See "Engine Overheating" in the
Index.
Your vehicle is equipped with either an amber SERVICE
ENGINE SOON light or an amber engine symbol light.
A computer monitors operation of your fuel, ignition
and emission control systems. This reminder light is
designed to come on when the ignition is on, but the
engine is not running, as a check to show you it is
working.
If it does not come on at all, have it fixed right away. If
it stays on, or it comes on while you are driving, the
computer
is
indicating that you have a problem. You
should take your vehicle in for service soon.
