Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
It also provides an indicator of how hard your vehicle is
working. During a majority of the operation, the gage
will read 210 _ F (100 _ C) or less. If you are pulling a
load or going up hills, it is normal for the temperature to
fluctuate and approach the 260 _ F (160 _ C) mark. If the
gage reaches the 260 _ F (160 _ C) mark, it indicates that
the cooling system is working beyond its capacity.
The "Problems on the Road," section of this manual
shows what to do. See "Engine Overheating" in
the Index.

assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life

prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This
system is also designed to assist your service technician
in correctly diagnosing any malfunction.

control systems.
