5. Temperature Gauge
LUSTER
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading within the
normal range indicates that the engine
cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a
higher temperature when driving in hot
weather or up mountain grades. It should
not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of
the normal operating range.
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. It is recommended to call an authorized
dealer for service if your vehicle overheats
Ú page 220.
WARNING!
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge
reads "H" pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the
vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until
the pointer drops back into the normal range. If
the pointer remains on the "H", turn the engine
off immediately and call an authorized dealer for
service.
NOTE:
The hard telltales will illuminate for a bulb check
when the ignition is first cycled.
