This light provides a quick

The red light will
go on when the ignition key is

you know that it is operating
properly.
When the engine is started, the
red light will go out immediately.
It will light up at no other time

ating temperature. If the red light
should come
on,
the engine must
be stopped until the cause of the
overheating is corrected. Glance

on and after the brakes have
been firmly applied it may indi-

system. (On cars equipped with
drum brakes, the light will go out

pedal. )

the light should glow with the
parking brake applied and the
