Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
FA
200
W
TEMP
Your vehicle has a gage that
shows the engine coolant
temperature. If the gage
pointer moves into the red
area, your engine is too hot!
This reading means the same thing as the warning light.
It means that your engine coolant has overheated.
If you
have been operating your vehicle under normal driving
conditions, you should pull off the road, stop your
vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
The "Problems on the Road" section in this manual
explains what to do. See "Engine Overheating" in
the Index.
Low Coolant Warning Light
LOW
COOLANT
When this light comes on,
the cooling system is low
on coolant. As a bulb check,
it will come on for two to
four seconds and then go
off when the ignition is
in RUN. If the light doesn't
come on, have the
vehicle serviced.
If the coolant level is low, the light will come back
on and a warning chime will sound. If this happens,
see "Engine Coolant" in the Index for proper cooling
system fill.
After the coolant level is returned to its proper level, the
LOW COOLANT light will go off after 20 seconds or
remain off during the next ignition cycle.
