The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature when the ignition switch is
on. The engine operating temperature
will vary with changes in weather and
engine load.
If the needle moves into the red zone,
your engine is too hot. If your vehicle
overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the
engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
D
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
D
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
D
Idling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop- and- go traffic.
D
Towing a trailer.
NOTICE

The thermostat is designed to con-
trol the flow of coolant to keep the
temperature of the engine within
the specified operating range.
