coolant is low inside the coolant reservoir.
Low coolant light
This light comes on for a few seconds when
your ignition key is turned to the ON position,
but should turn off when the engine starts. If the
coolant is low, the light will come on and a
single chime will sound. If this light stays on,
check the level of coolant inside the recovery
bottle. For instructions on adding coolant
mixture, see Engine coolant in the Index.

quarter full when you turn on the windshield
