Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge
Metric
English
This gauge shows the engine
coolant temperature.
It also provides an indicator of how
hard the vehicle is working. During a
majority of the operation, the gauge
reads 100°C (210°F) or less. If a
load is being pulled or going up
hills, it is normal for the temperature
to fluctuate and go over the 113°C
(235°F) mark. However, if the gauge
reaches the 125°C (260°F) mark, it
indicates that the cooling system is
working beyond its capacity.
