Engine Coolant Temperature Gage; Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Chevrolet 2006 Epica Owner's Manual

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

If the gage pointer moves into the red area, your engine
is too hot. 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.
See Engine Overheating on page 5-22.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp

Check Engine Light
This system is called OBD II (On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended to
assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for
the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner
environment. The Check Engine light comes on
to indicate that there is a problem and service is
required. Malfunctions often will be indicated by the
system before any problem is apparent. This may
prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This
system is also designed to assist your service technician
in correctly diagnosing any malfunction.
Notice: If you keep driving your vehicle with this
light on, after awhile, your emission controls may not
work as well, your fuel economy may not be as good,
and your engine may not run as smoothly. This
could lead to costly repairs that may not be covered
by your warranty.
Your vehicle is equipped
with a computer which
monitors operation of the
fuel, ignition, and emission
control systems.
