actually took a little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill the
tank.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. Most of the time, the gage
pointer will show your coolant temperature at 210°F (99"C), or less. But, if
you are pulling a heavy load or driving up hills, your coolant temperature
may rise and fall near the red 260°F
( 1
28°C) mark. This is normal. If the
gage pointer moves to the red 260°F
( 1
28°C) mark, your engine is too hot!
It means that your engine coolant has overheated. You should pull off the
road, stop your vehicle, and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
Hot Coolant Can Burn You Badly!
In "Problems on the Road," this manual shows what
to
do. See "Engine
Overheating" in the Index.
