problem.
If the light stays on, or comes on when you're driving,
your vehicle needs service. You will also hear a chime
sound when the light is on steady. If the regular brake
system warning light isn't on, you still have brakes, but
you don't have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake
system warning light is also on you don't have anti-lock
brakes and there's a problem with your regular brakes. In
addition to both lights, you will also hear a chime sound
on the ®rst occurrence of a problem and each time the
vehicle is shut off and then restarted. See

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
It also provides an indicator of how hard your vehicle is
working. During a majority of the operation, the gage

or going up hills, it is normal for the temperature to
¯uctuate and approach the 250ÉF (122ÉC) mark. If the
