This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. This
gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
It also provides an indicator of how hard your vehicle is
working. During the majority of the operation, the
gage will read 21 0°F (100°C) or less.
If you are pulling a load or going up hills, it is normal
for the temperature to fluctuate and approach the
250°F (122°C) mark. When the gage reads greater
than 250°F (122"C), the HOT COOLANT TEMP light
will be illuminated in the message center and a
chime will sound continuously. If the gage reaches
the 260°F (125°C) mark, it indicates that the cooling
system
is
working beyond its capacity.
