Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition. If the engine coolant temperature is too
4
high, this indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound. If the temperature reaches the
upper limit, a continuous chime will be sound for 4 minutes or until the engine is allowed to
cool whichever comes first.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on,
turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature
reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for service. Refer to
"If Your Engine Overheats" in "What To Do In Emergencies" for further information.
