Light
Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition. As engine coolant temperatures rise and
4
the gauge approaches H, this indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound after
reaching a set threshold. Further overheating will cause a continuous chime 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.
