26. Temperature Gauge
The temperature digital scale shows engine coolant tem-

or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to
exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads
"280", pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on the "280", and you hear continuous
chimes, turn the engine off immediately and call an
authorized studio for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling

for service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to
