2012 FORD MUSTANG coolant

PERFORMANCE GAUGES
Your vehicle may be equipped with a dash mounted gauge pack that
contains oil pressure, engine coolant temperature, and performance
gauges.
WARNING:The performance gauge function should only be
used while in a track environment. The driver’s primary
responsibility is the safe operation of their vehicle, only use this
feature when it is safe to do so.
Oil pressure gauge- measures oil
pressure from 0-100 psi (0-689 kPa)
Note:It is normal for the oil
pressure to read high (80 -100 psi)
(551 - 689 kPa) during a cold start
and may exceed 100 psi (689 kPa)
in some conditions. The oil pressure
gauge needle may also move quickly
back and forth (flutter) in some
conditions.
Engine coolant temperature
gauge- measures engine coolant
temperature 100-260°F (38-127°C).
Note:It is normal for the engine
temperature needle to NOT point at
12 o’clock for stabilized driving.
