12. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature. Any reading within the normal
range (less that the red zone) indicates that the
cooling system is operating satisfactorily. The gauge
needle will likely indicate a higher temperature when
driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, in heavy
traffic. If the needle rises into the red zone, stop the
vehicle, shift into N (Neutral), and increase the engine
idle speed for 2 to 3 minutes. If the temperature reading
does not return to normal, shut your engine OFF and
allow it to cool. Seek authorized service immediately. See
Cooling System information in the section on "Maintain-
ing Your Vehicle."
NOTE: If the gauge pointer moves to either extreme of
the gauge, the "Check Gages" indicator will illuminate
and a single chime will sound.

CAUTION!
Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the
engine running as you would not be able to react to
the temperature indicator if the engine overheats.
