Low Coolant Warning Light

Your vehicle is equipped with a low coolant level sensor
(switch and float) that is designed to detect when your
vehicle's coolant level drops below the set limit. If the
low coolant level sensor (under the coolant surge tank)
detects that the level drops while the engine is running,
the low coolant indicator will light and remain lit until
the ignition switch is turned off. Check the coolant level
and add coolant as needed. The light should turn off as
soon as the coolant level is at its proper operating range.
