Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
If you have the gage cluster, you have a gage that shows
the engine coolant temperature. If the gage pointer moves
into the red area your engine is too hot! The engine
coolant temperature gage indicates the coolant temperature
in degrees Fahrenheit. The Canadian instrument panels
indicate the coolant temperature in degrees Celsius.
That 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.
In the chapter "Problems on the Road," this manual
explains what
to
do. See "Engine Overheating" in the
Index.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Service Engine Soon)
A computer monitors
operation
of your fuel,
ignition and emission
control systems.
CHECK
This light should come on when the ignition is on, but
the engine is not running, as a check to show you
it
is
working.
If
it
does not
come on
at
all, have
it
fixed right away. If
it stays on, or it comes on while you are driving, the
computer is indicating that you have a problem. You
should take your vehicle in for service soon.
